[Lauren]

question is why/how? i just did it for the first time in forever n feel awesome..i guess endorphins and toxins get released during breath and poses. ne want to share what they know or give their opinion

 

[Raptor Jesus]

yoga is very good for you, not just your body, but you can literally stumble out of bed half asleep, do a quick yoga exercise, and you feel no soreness and are completely alert, relaxed, and unaggitated.

it helps me remain calm under stress and stay alert

 

[Dances with Buddha]

I would say it's due to combining stimulation/elevation of circulation, along with maximum range of motion (ROM).

Any semi-vigorous physical activity will elevate circulation, however, the extra factor yoga (and perhaps Pilate's, Tai Chi, etc) brings is in maximizing ROM (through emphasis on stretching/twisting) from head to toe (...if one does a thorough mix of poses).


Namaste',
