Through the practice of yoga, you can
become more aware of your emotional, mental and physical health. Yoga includes
physical poses called asana, breathing techniques and meditation.
Flexibility
Stretching the muscles through yoga
poses releases the lactic acid that builds up the muscles within, which can
cause stiffness, pain, fatigue, and tension. For students who participate in
sports, yoga can decrease the risk of injury through increased range of motion.
Stretching increases joint lubrication and stretches the soft tissues of the
body. Ligaments, tendons, and the fascia sheath surrounding the muscles are
also stretched.
Decreased
Stress
The life of a student
can be stressful, and yoga can help you relax. Yoga and its precise movements
draw focus away from the busy and hectic day and can have calming effects on
the body. After practicing yoga, the person doing yoga will feel happier and
will improve mental focus and concentration.
Detoxification
Yoga directly influences all of the
organs and body systems and helps to create optimum blood supply to every area
of the body. By stretching joints and muscles and massaging the organs, the
blood supply is increased. This allows for toxins to be flushed out and
provides nourishment to the body systems. Detoxification increases energy,
which is an added benefit of yoga for students who are always on the go.
Strength
Yoga increases muscle strength and
endurance. Holding standing poses for several long breaths increases strength
within the quadriceps, hamstrings and abdominal muscles. Nearly all yoga poses
help to build deep abdominal muscles and core strength. Increased strength
allows for daily activities to be easier, and an increase in lean body mass
increases your metabolism.
Weight
Management
The fast-paced life of a student can
cause them to eat processed and high calorie food and drinks. Practicing yoga
regularly can help with weight management. The thyroid gland plays a large role
in body metabolism and there are several yoga poses, such as the fish pose,
that specifically target the thyroid gland. The deep breathing in yoga increases
oxygen intake within the body cells, including fat cells, which can increase
fat cell burn up. Fat metabolism is also increased, which causes increased
calorie burn and increased energy.
If yoga is practiced everyday then it is
very helpful in every student’s life as it can make a student stronger mentally
as well as physically and is very helpful in this generation.
