"Yoga is the practice of quieting the mind." ~ Patanali
"This yoga should be practiced with firm determination and perseverance, without any mental reservation or doubts." ~ Bhagwad Geeta
"Yoga is invigoration in relaxation. Freedom in routine. Confidence through self control. Energy within and energy without." ~ Ymber Delecto
It is well know that practice of Yoga is beneficial for the body. According to me main benefit of Yoga is how it brings about positive change in you as you keep on practicing. Here are the benefits of Yoga apart from health benefits.
- Your Determination Increases
Even the simple poses require perseverance and determination for constant practice and therefore it is no wonder that gradually you will power increases. This helps you in all spheres of life. - Increased Confidence
This is an extension of the previous point. With determination come the assurance that you can accomplish difficult tasks also and that gives an inner confidence. When you face a new challenge your chances of success are more when you are confident about your abilities. - Improved Focus and Concentration
When you practice regularly you find it easier to focus since most of the poses requires you to focus on particular areas of the body and the breath. When we practice for long enough we find that the concentration increases and we find it easier to focus on other areas of work or life. - Relaxed and Peaceful Mind
Yoga slows you down and subdues the anxiety of the mind by slowing down the breathing. If you want proof, just practice for 15 minutes and then observe yourself and your breath. You will feel extremely relaxed and it is this sense of feel good factor which draws people to return to the practice. So if you are stressed out and full of anxiety I will strongly recommend you to practice yoga.
Practicing yoga makes you more successful in all spheres of life and that itself is good enough reason to practice apart from its apparent benefits.
