Don’tyouhavetohave abeardtodoyoga?! Notbeing flexible seemsto be an unbelievably huge barrierforpeople. Somepeoplethinktheyhavetodo thesplitsattheend oftheirfirstclass,butwould you expecttorunamarathonwithinaweekifyoujoineda runningclub? Beeasyonyourself! Instead,have a think aboutallthe reasonswhy you SHOULD giveyogaatry. Firstly,yogaisforEVERYONE–anyage,anyshapeor size,manorwoman,girlorboy! Dozensofscientifictrialshavebeenpublishedonyoga and resultshave shown thatifyou practice regularly youcanexpecttofeelsomeofthefollowingbenefits;
Improveyourflexibility Improvedflexibilityisoneoftheobviousbenefitsthat people talk about.Ifyou regularly practice yoga will loosen up and alltheimpossibleposesyou haveseen picturesofwillpossible.Niggly old achesand pains willeaseoff.

Beingstronger throughyogawillbebalancedwithflexibilitybalance itwith flexibility.Ifyou justrun orjustliftweights, you maybuild strength buttighten up asyou willnot becomeflexible
Perfectposture Yourhead isbig,round,and heavy.When you havea good postureitisdirectlyoveryourspineand isless work foryourneck and back muscles to supportit. Poorposture can cause a whole heap ofproblems badback,soreneckjusttonameafew.
Regulatesyouradrenalglands Yogalowerscortisollevels.Theadrenalglandssecrete cortisol in response to shock or crisis, which temporarilyboostsimmunefunction.Ifcortisollevels stay high they can have a negative effect on the immunesystem.Studiesonratsshow thathighcortisol levelslead to whatcan bedescribed as‘food-seeking behaviour’(the kind thatcompels you to eatwhen you’ reupset,angry,orstressed).
Lowersbloodsugarlevels Yoga lowers blood sugarbad cholesteroland boosts good cholesterol. Forpeoplewith diabetes,yogahas been found to lowerblood sugarin severalways:by lowering cortisoland adrenaline levels,encouraging weightloss,andimprovingsensitivitytotheeffectsof insulin.
Relax Yoga encouragesyou to relax and slowsyourbreath shiftingthebodyfrom thesympatheticnervoussystem (orthefight-or-flightresponse)totheparasympathetic nervous system which is calming and restorative, producing what Herbert Benson, M.D., calls the relaxationresponse.

Balanceout! Regularyogainmprovesproprioception (theabilityto feelwhatyourbodyisdoingand whereitisin space) andimprovesbalance.
Releasestension Have you evernoticed thatyou are aching and all tensedup? How longhaveyoubeenlikethatfor? This can lead to chronic tension, muscle fatigue, and sorenessinthewrists,arms,shoulders,neck,andface, which can increase stressand worsen yourmood.As youpracticeyoga,youbegintonoticewhereyouhold tensionandyoucanstarttodosomethingtoreleaseit.
Improvesthequalityofyoursleep Ialwaysgetpeopleinmyclasseswhotellmethatthey always sleep betteraftera yoga class – Icallthem sleepers. They are very lucky people. Guided relaxation,thecorpsepose,breathingexercisesandall help you relax and unwind and helpsyou driftoffto sleep.

Specifically tailored SportsYoga programmes trains flexibility, fascia and functional movement and keeps the body moving freely and efficiently. It helps athletes stay supple and sharp, increases range, suppleness and freedom of movement, decreasesmusculartensionandimprovesstaminaand functionalstrengththroughprecisecoretraining.Yoga can also contribute to reducing injuries related to muscularover-useandrestrictedjointmovement.
Manage yourexpectations-usually between 6 to 12 sessionswillproduce noticeable resultsand benefits butitdependsonyourgeneralfitnesslevels,age,any pastorcurrentinjuriesand how you often you attend classes.
Ifyou don’tfancy going to a public class oritjust doesn’tfitwithyourschedulethenyoucouldconsider private tuition,which many yoga teacherswilldo in theirown homesorata localstudio. Thisisgreatif you want a personalised programme, which targets specific areas, or needs that you have. Setting personalisedgoalswiththeteacherisreallyimportant here,notonly so you can track progressbutalso so thattheteachercan plan thesessionsto reallyensure thatyougetthemostoutoftheprivatetuition. When clients tellme abouthow yoga is helping,I always say to them,‘Yoga is magic!’ And Ireally believeit!
