Are All Skill Levels of Yoga Therapeutic?
Yoga can be considered therapeutic at any level. Simple poses will help ease tension in muscles, and systematic breathing can help center and calm a busy mind. Just some of the physical benefits are enough reason to begin a daily yoga routine. Some of the benefits that yoga offers include:
- Increased flexibility, muscle strength, and tone
- Improved respiration, energy, and vitality
- Weight reduction
- Improved cardiovascular health
- Better protection from injury
As we get older, we tend to slow down and move less. Muscles deteriorate and stiffen, making it harder to get around. However, yoga can help keep you limber and moving freely the older you get, and the sooner you start, the better.
