September is National Yoga Month

While many people are skeptical of the benefits yoga actually provides, there is research behind this type of fitness that proves it is good for your health, so we wanted to share. All of this information, and more, can also be found on medlineplus.gov. What are the benefits of yoga? It can lower your blood pressure. It can aid digestion. It can help you relax. It can improve your coordination. And it can even ease anxiety, back pain and depression. There are several different types of yoga, so you may have heard of hot yoga (yoga taking place in a room heated to 95 to 100 degrees), ashtanga yoga (a more demanding yoga workout), viniyoga (a style of yoga that adapts to each person’s abilities and needs) or another type. Each type of yoga is different in how the poses and breathing exercises go, but the motivation is generally very similar: connect your body, breath and mind.
