Why? It is here that the remarkable research behind yoga positions proves its mettle. Seemingly unrelated \u201cnon strenuous\u201d yoga positions act upon certain parts of the body in an interrelated manner. When done together, they work in harmony to create a situation where flexibility is attained relatively easily.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Massaging of ALL Organs of the Body<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u2013 Yoga is perhaps the only form of activity which massages all the internal glands and organs of the body in a thorough manner, including those \u2013 such as the prostate \u2013 that hardly get externally stimulated during our entire lifetime. Yoga acts in a wholesome manner on the various body parts. This stimulation and massage of the organs in turn benefits us by keeping away disease and providing a forewarning at the first possible instance of a likely onset of disease or disorder.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Complete Detoxification<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u2013 By gently stretching muscles and joints as well as massaging the various organs, yoga ensures the optimum blood supply to various parts of the body. This helps in the flushing out of toxins from every nook and cranny as well as providing nourishment up to the last point. This leads to benefits such as delayed ageing, energy and a remarkable zest for life.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Excellent toning of the muscles<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u2013 Muscles that have become flaccid, weak or slothy are stimulated repeatedly to shed excess flab and flaccidity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><strong>\u00a0Other benefits of yoga include:<\/strong><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ms-rteElement-P\">Increased flexibility<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ms-rteElement-P\">Increased muscle strength and tone<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ms-rteElement-P\">Improved respiration, energy and vitality<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ms-rteElement-P\">Maintaining a balanced metabolism<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ms-rteElement-P\">Weight reduction<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ms-rteElement-P\">Cardio and circulatory health<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ms-rteElement-P\">Improved athletic performance<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"ms-rteElement-P\">Protection from injury<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&quot;1_3&quot; _builder_version=&quot;4.2.2&quot; background_color=&quot;#f7f7f7&quot; custom_padding=&quot;40px|20px|40px|20px|false|false&quot; border_width_all=&quot;1px&quot; border_color_all=&quot;#d3d3d3&quot;][et_pb_image src=&quot;https:\/\/vinyasayogaacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/OUR-PHILOSOPHY.jpg&quot; url=&quot;https:\/\/vinyasayogaacademy.com\/&quot; module_class=&quot;sticky&quot; _builder_version=&quot;4.2.2&quot;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Increasing Flexibility\u00a0\u2013 yoga has positions that act upon the various joints of the body including those joints that are never really on the \u2018radar screen\u2019 let alone exercised.
