1. You get toned – Move and honor your body

Yoga is a great way to get out of your head and into your body. One of the best ways to clear the mind is to move. The energy can flow, so the body’s systems (and that mental funk in the brain) can flow too. Our bodies do not only need food and water to be nourished and balanced – they need motion as well. Movement releases stagnation and over-accumulated areas, which can store in the mind, body or soul for quite a time.

The physical aspect of yoga teaches you to move through phases of compressing and releasing, the Pranayama Breathing exercises are a tool to be in the moment. Both combined is what makes yoga such an essential part of life. There are only a few activities which give you a deep feeling of connection, energy, devotion, honor, love and respect for yourself. Side effects: Toned and lean muscles that make you strong inside out, a flexible body and mind and a few skills for fun like headstands, plank or tree pose.

2. Yoga makes you find access within

At some point you have experienced that amazing feeling called “runners high” or even the state after a deep massage or a really good yoga class. Your brain releases serotonin and it just makes you feel good and balanced. Yogis say bliss, but call it whatever.

It’s a special connection point where you are able to remember that peace, bliss and happiness lie within you and is never more accessible than in this very moment. The actual access to this feeling is what yoga can unlock. Sometimes you feel very  comfortable after a class, deeply relaxed and content with yourself and the world. With your mind and body at ease, everything makes sense, you feel energised and whole. Isn’t it amazing that you can create such a feeling yourself?

3. Time for yourself

That 90 or 30 minutes on your mat can be special “me time”. You get the chance to just be with and care for yourself, no to-do lists, kids, partners, friends or family and most importantly no work that needs to be cared for. Self-care is self-love.

4. Let go of stress with meditation and your breath

Yoga decreases emotional and mental stress. It can help you move beyond a negative inner-dialogue, lets you unwind after a long day and creates presence. With practices like meditation, visualisation and intention you engage and relax your mind. Asanas and meditation are always accompanied by mindful breathing called pranayama. The breath brings more oxygen into the body, which gives you energy and also calms you down. When you bring attention to your breath you can reduce your stress levels.

5. Do Yoga everywhere

One of the best reasons to do yoga: You can roll out your mat everywhere. It is so easy yet we sometimes tend to forget that. The important thing is: You need time and space in your mind and heart to access it. To begin a practice or to dedicate to a deeper practice the time aspect is a tricky one. Use your next vacation with Finest Holidays, while you are away from the everyday-stress and hustle, to add yoga to your life. There you have the perfect requirements: time, space &  the mood to move and relax.
