3 Ways Yoga Can Improve Your Health
Chances are you’ve heard people say practicing yoga is good for your health. However, do you actually know what the benefits are? No matter what yoga class you try during your stay at our Catskills resort, you’ll see why people return to their mat time and time again.
- One of the most well-known reasons to practice yoga is to improve flexibility, strength, and balance. The slow movements help increase blood flow while holding a pose can build strength.
- If you sit for extended periods, you’ve likely had a sore back a time or two. Because yoga focuses on stretching, it is often recommended as a treatment for lower back pain.
- Attending regular yoga classes can reduce your stress level. This can improve several areas of your life, including sleep quality and heart health. Lower stress can also help your mental health.
