5 Health Benefits of Yoga/Stretching

Rachel Brathen said it best.

“The yoga pose is not the goal. Becoming flexible or standing on your hands is not the goal. The goal is to create space where you were once stuck. To unveil layers of protections you’ve built around your heart. To appreciate your body and become aware of the mind and noise it creates. To make peace with who you are. The goal is to love,…well, you. Shift your focus and your heart will grow.”

Daily stretching and yoga can do the following:

  1. Boost metabolism

  2. Improve posture

  3. Build muscle strength

  4. Increase blood flow

  5. Lower blood sugar

    Yoga brings such an inner peace, a renewal of the mind and heart. It has positive benefits on our body, but also on our mental wellness.

    Taking just 15-30 minutes to practice yoga or stretching daily will have you feeling refreshed and calm. Try this yoga/stretching routine that we’ve specifically created to help bring a little peace to your everyday routine.
