Adding a yoga routine into your daily life can help to shape your body and provide you with an array of health benefits. Here are seven reasons why you could explore yoga:

INCREASED ENERGY

More energy is always a good thing. It has been shown that yoga can help to balance out your energy levels, reducing needs for caffeine, for example.  Higher energy levels ensure that you work hard and play hard with your family.

YOU WILL BE STRONGER

Yoga is a great way to strengthen your body and tone core muscles. Once you are stronger, you can carry your young children when they fall asleep in the car, help to carry things around the house, and generally feel better about yourself.

YOU WILL BE HAPPIER

Endorphins released during excercise contribute (among other things) to a happier mood. A happy person is a person that everyone wants to be around. No matter what role you play in your family, everyone wants to see you happy.  Performing some basic yoga poses every day can send the endorphins flying!

A BETTER NIGHT’S SLEEP

Yoga helps to create a balance and that’s going to help you achieve a better night’s sleep. Ever feel exhausted first thing in the morning? Yoga helps you to fall asleep faster, sleep better, and wake up easier.

YOU WON’T BE IN PAIN

Flexibility within the joints is just one of the benefits of yoga and it can reduce the amount of pain that you are in. It will also assist with injury prevention. When you’re not in pain, you’re more likely to want to play with your kids and your partner. There are numerous examples of older yogi’s that have a body that is the envy of men half their age.

LIVE LONGER

Who doesn’t want to live longer? By practicing yoga, you can reduce your blood pressure and improve your circulation – and that can add years to your life.

YOU WILL BE MORE PRODUCTIVE

30 minutes or more of yoga is going to help you to get your blood flowing and your body centered. This is going to give you more energy and focus.  This will lead to you becoming a more productive member of the family.
