The Benefits of Yoga
Yoga offers physical and mental health benefits for people of all ages.
For patients going through an illness, recovering from surgery or living with a chronic condition, yoga can become an integral part of their treatment and potentially hasten healing. Yoga can support the healing process and help the person experience symptoms with more centeredness and less distress.
Breathing, yoga-based movement, and mindful meditation, helps children, youth and students bring their attention to the present moment and prepares them for learning time.
Yoga helps elderly people find their centre and strengthen their core, leading to improved balance that can help reduce risk of falling. Group yoga can also provide a space for greater connection and community.
Overall, yoga can be adapted to all types of bodies to bring about physical and mental benefits. Yoga helps individuals to find greater openness in their bodies and confidence in themselves.
1. One female patient was dizzy after a chest opening with block asana, I went to rub her hands and feet and she felt much better. This is what Master Vishnu taught me at yoga therapy TT, and it’s very helpful. Then Master Vishnu went to check her up, gave her some advice and she is recovered when she left.
