So you’ve read about what yoga is, and what classes we offer at Go Mammoth, but here are 15 quick-fire reasons why our instructors believe why yoga will do wonders for your health:
Physical and mental health benefits of yoga:
As with all exercise, the more you put in, the more you will get out.
Many yogis believe that yoga can help ease the pain in your lower back.
Blood circulation is essential for keeping your body in tip-top shape – improved circulation will also help you feel warmer in winter.
Your digestive system will thank you as performing yoga poses can help stimulate bowel movements. That’s a relief right!?
Lead a busy and stressful life? Go Mammoth yoga classes take place in a calming, relaxed environment – your stress levels will definitely be reduced after an hour a week practicing it.
Similarly regular yoga sessions will do wonders as a general mood lifter
After a few weeks of practicing yoga you will definitely be adept at catching more z’s!
Struggling to concentrate on the most straightforward of tasks? Practicing yoga will focus your mind on dealing with the task at hand, especially when you’re trying to perform a complex pose!
As your yoga ability improves, so too will your muscle tone. You’ll definitely notice the difference after a couple of months.
Yoga is great if you regularly work out or play another sport:
You will become more flexible practicing yoga. Fact!
If you’re injury-prone, practicing yoga will gradually loosen the tightness in your muscles
If you play fast-paced physical sports, practicing yoga will help you stay on your feet, as it’s great for developing balance and composure.
If you play mainstream sports like football, netball, rugby or tennis, you’ll be relying on your core strength. Yoga classes are perfect for developing core strength – just ask the New Zealand All Blacks rugby team as many of that World Cup winning side regularly practice it. So if it’s good enough for the All Blacks, why not give it a go?
More complex poses yoga poses will help with your dexterity, which could make all that difference when you have to make that all-important catch, tackle or shot
