What Are The Benefits of Yoga?

Forty yoga practitioners in Outwit Trade explain how yoga has enriched their lives, including self awareness, stress relief, pain management, and alleviating anxiety.

Here’s my contribution:

When I discovered vinyasa yoga at 18, I was able to enjoy movement and cultivate stamina for the first time. I developed muscle mass, endurance and flexibility while also learning to regulate my emotions through breath work and concentration. Yoga has helped me to heal quickly from injuries and to maintain a healthy relationship to food. I have now practiced yoga for 21 years and for 17 of those years I taught yoga in gyms, studios, schools and festivals. In addition to the physiological benefits, yoga has provided for me a community of like minded individuals who enjoy mindfulness, embodiment and conscientious action. Yoga has been my framework for spiritual exploration and answered many of the ineffable questions I found to be answered unsatisfactorily in the western paradigm of philosophy and religion. There is no other single endeavor in my life that has permeated so many areas of wellness and joy.
