If you are considering starting your yoga journey or advancing it, Yoga in the Village is ideal for you. Yoga is an excellent way to improve your strength and flexibility. The great thing about yoga is that almost everybody can do it, and it is not a reserve for flexible people and meditation enthusiasts. During your session at Yoga in the Village, you will learn that some aspects of yoga are about relaxation while others involve moving more. Most of the yoga poses included in Yoga in the Village sessions involve stretching your muscles and can help relieve stiffness and fatigue, and allow you to move better. The thing about yoga is that you make progress very soon and you will be able to improve your flexibility within a short period.
Some yoga styles like power yoga and ashtanga are quite physical and can help improve your muscle tone. However, even less physical yoga styles like Hatha or Iyengar can offer substantial endurance and strength benefits. Most of the poses like the plank pose, downward dog, and upward dog improve the strength of your upper body. Standing poses develop strength in your abs, hamstrings, and quadriceps, especially by holding them for several long breaths. The chair pose and upward dog can be of great help when it comes to strengthening your lower back. Another great thing about yoga is that when done correctly, close to all the poses can help you develop deep abdominal muscles. Most sitting and standing poses help boost your core strength because you require your core muscles to maintain and support each pose. You are more likely to stand and sit tall with a stronger core.
Yoga in the Village also helps you develop your body awareness. As a result, you will be able to detect more quickly when you are slumping or slouching and adjust your posture. Since yoga involves focusing on your breath, it can help you relax — and in the age of financial obligations and collections, who doesn’t need to relax a bit? However, yoga is not aerobic like cycling or running, unless it is one of the more intense yoga types. Yoga in the Village also allows you to feel relaxed and less stressed. Some types of yoga incorporate techniques of meditation that have a calming effect on the mind. Yoga is also known to lower the heart rate and lower blood pressure. This can be quite beneficial for people who have experienced a stroke, have heart diseases, or high blood pressure.
Regardless of your yoga level, joining Yoga in the Village is a great idea. It will improve your physical and mental health and make you live a more blissful life.
