Stretching is a great way to increase flexibility and maintain strength during yoga sessions or while healing from an injury. It’s also an excellent way to find peace in daily life by focusing on breathing techniques and meditation that are often part of the practice. Stretches before any activity are proven to prevent injuries from happening. They help to lengthen and loosen the muscles, making them less likely to tear or strain during exercise. Enjoy the benefits of stretching in yoga for both your physical and mental health. Stretches are good for joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons and improve circulation, which may prevent problems such as arthritis. Yoga helps improve breathing habits which leads to better general fitness levels. It provides a sense of calm and relaxation, aiding in reduced stress levels, pain relief and improved sleep.
