Hi everyone, it's very simple: 10 reasons why I think Yoga is important. The best is that it's so simple to start, just start stretching where you can and build your elasticity withing days of practice.
Stepping onto the yoga mat can lead to extraordinary experiences, greater self-knowledge and better health. Yoga has a 5,000 year old foundation and history to back up its results.
10 reasons to Do Yoga:

*
Pain relief- practicing yogic asana and meditation can ease emotional and physical pain in people with cancer, multiple sclerosis, auto-immune diseases, hypertension, arthritis and other chronic conditions.

Better Breathing- by incorporating deeper, slower breaths, yoga can help improve lung health by increasing he oxygen available to the body.
