The Physical and Mental Health Benefits of Yoga
Yoga has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety levels, and you don’t need to be “stressed” or “anxious” to benefit. It teaches mental clarity, attention and focus.
While the flexibility and posture boosting effects of yoga are widely known, the fitness, agility and core strength components are just as valuable for your physical health.
A trial at Sydney University by the George Institute suggested that everyone, especially older Australians, could benefit from practicing yoga.
Research has linked yoga practice to lower heart rates and lower blood pressure, and with regular yoga sessions this effect is noticeable throughout the day. Part of your experience of practicing yoga will be learning breathing skills and mindfulness.
At HSG we create corporate yoga classes which also target a team building benefit, and allow for a fun and experiential team building activity or event which boosts wellbeing and is suitable for everyone.
