There are so many reasons to do yoga. A cuter butt. O.k. - I have better ones for you. Do you want to look younger? - Do yoga.

Researchers have just found that people who do just three 60-minute sessions of semi-vigorous yoga per week, were 9 years younger on average than non-exercisers.

Do you need to DETOX? Get rid of those toxins trapped in your body and skin!

Yoga detoxifies the body more efficiently then other exercise, and stimulates and balances the endocrine system, which among other things regulates aging, healing, metabolism and immunity. So, you’ll look younger on the outside, as well as inside!

Do you want to keep the weight off???

A study found that middle-aged people who practice yoga gained less weight over a 10-year period than those who did not. This was independent of physical activity and dietary patterns. They hypothesized that mindfulness – a skill learned either directly or indirectly through yoga – could affect eating behavior.

Want to skip hospital visits?

In a study of health insurance statistics, yogis and meditators showed hospitalization rates that were 87% less than non-yogis for heart disease, 55% less for benign and malignant tumors, 30% less for infectious diseases, and 50% less for out-patient doctor visits.

Want to heal your BACK??

Exercise, and yoga in particular, can not only erase back pain and lighten the stress on your spine, it can re-structure your body so your lower back curve is supported, healthy, and strong. What’s more, since yoga lengthens your muscles as well as work them, you won’t end up with a super strong, but too-tight back, another common cause of lumbar problems.

Want to calm your mind??

Yoga breathing, regular or fancy calms your brain waves down in about 30 seconds.

So, come on in and enjoy all yoga has to offer!

And remember it also gives you a cuter bum.

Peace
