This week, I will be focusing on evidence based outcomes and benefits of Yoga. It is my hope that with this information, you can see how accessible self care and healing is through something that is inherit to you (movement, breath, and rest). Along with me hosting this challenge, is my yoga teacher and a yoga classmate of mine!
☕️Feel free to brows our posts as we hope to educate, support, and inspire those who may be on the fence about trying mindful based movement and integrative self care.
Today we focus on the structural benefits of yoga. Everything I post has been researched and proven to help your physical body. Great research articles can be found on Google Scholar.
Yoga can help those who suffer from:
- Cardiovascular based diseases
- Stroke, high lipids, high blood pressure, etc.
- Chronic respiratory illnesses
- Arthritis
- GI diseases ( diseases involving the gastrointestinal tract, namely the oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and rectum, and the accessory organs of digestion, the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.)
- Autoimmune diseases
- Diabetes
- And more ...
Did you know that stress can activate illness and disease in your body? Yoga is a practice which helps in reducing stress. Think of stress as rust for our cells.
" Yoga increases blood flow and levels of hemoglobin and red blood cells which allows for more oxygen to reach the body cells, enhancing their function.[5] Yoga also thins the blood which can decrease the risk of heart attack and stroke, as they are often caused by blood clots. Twisting poses wring out venous blood from internal organs and allow oxygenated blood to flow in when the twist is released. Inverted poses encourage venous blood flow from the legs and pelvis back to the heart and then pumped through the lungs where it becomes freshly oxygenated. Many studies show yoga lowers the resting heart rate, increases endurance, and can improve the maximum uptake and utilization of oxygen during exercise." -

The awesome thing with yoga is that, it teaches you to befriend your body and reclaim who you are! To be an advocate for yourself! What nourishes the body, also nourishes the mind and soul.
