Yoga Benefit #9: Increases Flexibility
Yoga poses or asanas involve stretching and relaxing different muscles and joints. They also alternately increase and reduce pressure against different organs. Doing these activities over weeks, months, and years helps increase strength and improves flexibility throughout the body. This reduces the risk of injury while exercising or competing.
Yoga poses also increase balance in the body because they involve a wholesome approach that works the different muscle groups, ligaments, and tendons. This increases the range of motion of different joints, making it easier for you to carry out relatively strenuous physical activities.
