The Benefits of Yoga
from Sunshine Yoga and Health

Feeling Tired - Low on Energy

Many people are stuck in day-by-day low energy patterns. Shallow breathing, sluggish movement, lack of passion for life, depression and unrefreshing sleep are some of the symptoms.

Tiredness often follows excessive thinking, overwork, study, grief or illness which can trigger mental exhaustion that drains the adrenal glands' reaction hormones. Without these hormones we tend to feel flat, rather than feeling joy.

You can change this pattern by practicing deep breathing, simple exercise and postures, relaxation and/or meditation on a regular basis. The beauty is you feel the benefits instantly. Sunshine Yoga has been offering support and guidance for many years to men and women of all ages and levels of fitness.

"I actually want to get up in the morning" says Roy, from Newstead. Yes, the results are quite incredible.

Lose Weight Yoga-Style

Can yoga really help you lose weight? The answer is Yes! But not on its own. Yoga doesn't pack a major calorie burning punch, but helps you burn more calories during other types of activities such as walking, swimming, cycling.

Yoga improves flexibility, strength and posture - 3 factors that are important for proper walking technique. The more flexible you are, the more strength you have, the more upright your posture, the longer and faster your walking stride, which means the better walker you are and the more calories you burn.

Incorporate regular Sunshine yoga, breathing, relaxation and meditation with a sensible eating plan, walking or swimming and you will have more energy, feel great about yourself, be more relaxed and your weight will regulate itself to what is perfect for you.
