One of the reasons many people start to practice yoga is for its health and relaxation benefits. Therapeutic yoga is the form of yoga that concentrates more on the physical and mental aspects of the human being. In strengthening, moving and stretching - the muscles, tendons, sinews, organs, glands and systems of the body are stimulated which promotes homeostasis (balance and equilibrium) of the functions of the body. Good functioning of the bodily systems leads to healthy tissue and a strong immune system! This is achieved through the performing of ‘asanas’ (postures or exercises).

In addition, by incorporating the very important practice of controlled breathing ‘pranayama’, the blood is oxygenated more effectively and efficiently. Scientific research has shown that this results in the body’s millions of neurons receiving more but consuming less oxygen, which enhances their functioning and creates more energy in the body.

Other benefits are:-improved cardio-respiratory efficiency via decreased heart rate, minute ventilation, and respiratory quotient; decreased blood pressure (hypertension); decreased serum cholesterol; triglycerides; low-density lipoprotein and the high density lipoprotein (HDL)/cholesterol ratio.

It also elevates mood and precipitates hormonal changes in the hypo-thalamic-pituitary- adrenal axis.

Perhaps best of all, although a reasonable amount of effort is required, no hard work is needed. The adage ‘no pain no gain’ does not apply to therapeutic yoga. You work with your body not against it!
