I always believed that Yoga is something I can easily do back when I wasn’t a mom yet. I honestly thought it was as easy as stretching, that you have to be skinny and a female to do yoga. Also, I always thought Yoga is an expensive and time-consuming way to get fit and healthy. Just found out that they’re all myths! There’s actually more to yoga than what we know of.
Yoga Plus Express Legazpi Makati officially opened its doors last November 9, 2016. It was a very meaningful opening evening for this wellness place. It was a great experience plus it was something new to break my exhausting days at home. I learned that yoga is part of deeper ideology that Hindus believed in.
A few shots from the opening day.
What is Yoga?
Yoga dates back to ancient times of India over 5,000 years ago when it was seen as a sacred/ spiritual ritual as part of Hinduism. Then Yoga changed through time and was seen as a path to enlightenment. Moving on through time, the physical and spiritual connection of yoga was discovered. Through time, yoga gained a lot of followers from the different places we go to and later on became a form of exercise to get fit and thin.
Doing Yoga involves these breath control, simple meditation, and the adoption of specific bodily postures.
What are the Benefits of Yoga?
There are just so many known benefits of yoga. But to a newbie like me, I want to understand the benefits I can get now that I am a mom of 2 under 2 years old, a hands on full-time housewife and mom. The days don’t get relaxing (but of course more rewarding) for me as the two babies grow up and enter into toddler age. Here are the benefits of Yoga to a person’s everyday life:
- You’ll be able to master your body more– You’ll know what you can do and what you cannot and you’ll master your physical strengths and weaknesses
- Improves your balance
- As a form of meditation, it keeps your mind and body relaxed and rejuvenated from all the noise and busy days in the city
- Improves posture which can help us do our activities more efficiently and effectively
- Physical and mental discipline and control are two things you will be reminded of what you practice Yoga.
- Helps increase endurance and energy levels
- If you eat healthy and properly, Yoga can help you loose all the unwanted pounds
- It can make you calmer with the knowledge on proper breathing and relaxation. You will become calmer moms, dads, and workers that could yield better results. A relaxed mind may give you amazing results like a better relationship with your loved ones and better mood the entire day.
- Helps one to focus better. We all need this everyday!
- Improves and boost your immune system to fight those viruses roaming round
