Low caloric consumption
Effort is minimized, relaxed
Energizing (breathing is natural or controlled)
Balanced activity of opposing muscle groups
Noncompetitive, process-oriented
Awareness is internal (focus is on breath and the infinite)
Limitless possibilities for growth in self-awareness

Exercise Benefits

Boredom factor

I just started yoga about a month ago and I was very skeptical. After the first two visits I fell in love with it! I have alrways been very unflexible and it has gotten worse over the past few years. Yoga has really helped tone my body, increase flexibility and I always feel great when I leave my class! I attend CoreYoga 2-3 times per week. I would recommend attending at a yoga studio and not a gym or at home because you get the entire experience in a warm, quiet, relaxing environment.

Yoga is really easy and effective exercise for our body,

I like your post about yoga health benefits vs Exercise benefits. It is very helpful and interesting for every one. According to me i think that Yoga is distinctly different from other kinds of exercise. It generates motion without causing strain and imbalances in the body. This strengthening gives way to endurance as poses are held for longer periods of time.

Yoga has really helped my tone to increase the flexibility of the body, and I always feel great when I leave my class! I go 2-3 times CoreYoga week.Yoga is often prescribed to help heal various injuries, including repetitive strain injuries, knee injuries and back, pulled hamstrings, skin burns, even minor ones.
