Five Unexpected Benefits of Your Yoga Practice
Maybe you do yoga for the physical benefits. You feel stronger, less ache-y, and just all around, well, better. If you’ve practiced awhile, maybe you’ve noticed some mental and emotional benefits. Less clutter, more clarity, and a general sense of well-being are common side effects of yoga. But if you really look deep, you may have noticed a few unexpected benefits of yoga as well.

Yoga can be a source of motivation
Yoga is a meeting with one's own self. It's time to meet your inner self and obtain a return ticket to your blissful and happy genuine nature. When you do yoga, you will automatically feel cheerful. Many people are unaware that they are in difficulty until it is too late. Lack of motivation, sadness, sleeplessness, and sustaining personal connections are among the issues they face.

Everything's Better Upside Down
I was forty-four but felt eighty. No energy. No joy. No hope. My joints ached like I was an octogenarian. (No offense to you hale and healthy octogenarians.) My back hurt. My hips hurt. My Achilles tendon hurt. But I hadn’t injured them. Some people will say that I was just getting old. It happens to the best of us.

Strengthening my Core
Breathe. Breathe deeply. Breathe consciously. Breathe with with your whole being. Breath is life. It sustains us. Breath work has long been associated with regulating the nervous system for thousands of years. Yoga is one method. It is an ancient Indian system designed for physical, mental and spiritual well-being. In the west, we normally associate yoga with the physical aspects and see images of a flexible body contorting into all sorts of pretzel-like shapes when we hear the word. This was my introduction to it as well.

How Yoga Saved Me
Yoga came into my life at a very important time. I was twenty years old, freshly moved out and living with my boyfriend, attending university full time, and working four shifts a week at a busy restaurant. It was normal for me to finish a closing shift, swing by McDonalds for a coffee at two in the morning on my way home to study for a few hours before grabbing a couple hours rest and then taking the hour-long c-train to class the following day.

How yoga changes the brain
Yoga is more than a trend; yoga is a movement. The practice, imported from India, has become a popular sport in the West. In Germany, more than 15 million people now do the sun salutation, stretch their legs into the downward-looking dog or sit meditatively side by side in the lotus position to relax, manage stress, strengthen their backs and stay fit. Or are at least interested in embarking on the gentle path to well-being. The multitude of practicing expects an improvement of the physical condition as well as the psyche. And this is not a perceived truth.
