By Leslie Ball


For a relatively long period of time, yoga has become very popular to people. Most commonly women who are constantly in the need of getting rid of fats that have accumulated in their bodies. It was developed in India a couple of years back. As an art has also become a common form of exercising in the United States and the entire world in general. For example in Houston, Houston yoga awareness initiatives have led to an increase in the number of people who exercise it.

The benefits of yoga are endless. Ranging from physical to health benefits. To begin with, it increases flexibility to people who practice it. This is due to the fact that this exercises require people to assume positions that stretch their various muscles. By stretching, the muscles become flexible and in turn making a person flexible too. This makes one to have an increased muscle strength due to their flexibility.

Moving on, the exercises improve ones athletic performance. The fact that a persons muscles becomes more strong and flexible, her athletic performance also improves because the muscles are able to break down carbohydrates fast and produce energy that is required to propel the athlete faster therefore improving her athletic performance.

Recent research has indicated that this art is able to improve the health of a person heart and blood circulation. This can be attributed to the fact that more blood is able to be pumped in and out of the heart during these exercises. Heart experts have always associated heart failures to lack of adequate blood supply and circulation in and outside the heart.

It also improves a person metabolism. Metabolism can simply be understood as the processes of digestion and consequent transport of substances into and between different cells inside the body. Digestion and transport of food substances in the body requires energy. People who practice the art are more likely to have better metabolism compared to those that do not practice it. This is due to the fact that more energy is available for food digestion and transportation.

Yoga improves the way people manage stress. Stress manifests itself in various ways. For example, a person undergoing stress always has mood swings and most often easy to get angry. Headaches, lack of sleep and frequent back and neck pains are also among other symptoms of stress. In worse situations, people suffering from stress may indulge in drug abusing. It is able to help people overcome all these difficulties.

Moving on swiftly, it improves an individuals brain capabilities and well-being. The brain needs sufficient supply of oxygen in order to function properly. It is believed that most brain complications are associated with insufficient oxygen circulation in the brain. People who practice it have a good oxygen supply in their brains and therefore very unlikely to have mental problems, unlike those people that do not exercise the art.

One Dr. Nevins defined yoga as an activity that is capable of uniting a persons mind, body and the spirit. This is very true because people who practice it seem to approach life from a positive different angle unlike the people who do not practice yoga. The wide range of importance yoga has to the people of Houston and the whole world at large makes it an important aspect of life.
