When thinking of yoga, you might already associate the ancient practice with mental and physical health benefits. Maybe you\u2019ve attended a yoga class at some point and left the session with a new lease on life\u2014feeling more relaxed, flexible, and grounded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s widely understood that yoga is good for you. But beyond that, have you ever wondered about the concrete benefits of this Indian tradition\u2014as in, exactly how a regular yoga practice can influence your health?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take a look at the science behind the benefits of yoga<\/strong> for your body, mind, and even your skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Yoga may reduce stress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While a form of exercise (and a challenging one at that), yoga can also relax and soothe your body and mind. One study<\/a> showed that just one hour of yoga weekly for ten weeks significantly improved participants\u2019 stress, anxiety, and quality of life<\/strong>. All this in just an hour a week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A further study<\/a> showed that practicing yoga could decrease the amount of cortisol<\/strong> (the stress hormone) in the body. Over time, higher levels of cortisol<\/a> can significantly impact sleep quality, negatively affect your mood, and may even contribute to weight gain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeping stress levels in check is important\u2014for your skin<\/a> and your health\u2014and yoga is just one of the ways you can work to manage stress and balance your body\u2019s cortisol levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Yoga could help improve sleep quality <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What if a calming yoga session could work as a natural sleep aid? As it turns out, it just might.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One study<\/a> showed that\u00a0yoga, combined with meditation, can help boost the body’s production of melatonin<\/strong>. Your body naturally produces melatonin<\/a> to help control your sleep cycle. Simply put, it signals when it\u2019s time to head to bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that\u2019s not its only role. Melatonin is also important to the gut, thyroid, lungs, kidneys, and you guessed it, the skin, where it shows off two main strengths: antioxidant and repairing actions. That\u2019s why you might have used it both as a sleep supplement and in your skincare routine<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, science shows<\/a> that your body begins to produce less and less of the hormone as you age. The good news is that regularly practicing yoga may help<\/strong>\u2014encouraging deeper and more restful sleep<\/a> overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Regular practice boosts flexibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On top of playing their part in balancing stress levels and sleep quality, many forms of yoga contribute to building strength and flexibility<\/a><\/strong>. The ancient practice works to loosen up those muscles and, with time, improve flexibility and balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition,\u00a0preliminary research<\/a> has found that a consistent yoga practice could be beneficial in pain management. By providing breathing and body-awareness techniques, this type of exercise can offer a new approach toward uncomfortable feelings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While more research is needed on the topic of yoga and chronic pain, it could help you experience some relief with the right guidance. However, it\u2019s important to let your yoga instructor know about any conditions you might have, as there may be certain poses that are better to sit out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. It can support heart health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s evidence to suggest that yoga can support cardiovascular health. One of the major contributing factors<\/a> towards heart disease is stress\u2014and as we\u2019ve already seen, yoga can be a great way to unwind. Moreover, one study<\/a> of over 40s who practiced yoga for over 5 years indicated that participants had lower blood pressure<\/strong> and a lower pulse rate<\/strong> compared to those who didn\u2019t practice yoga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The task of keeping your heart healthy takes a holistic approach. Diet, stress, and how much you exercise overall also play their part. However, adding more mindful movement into your routine could be a great start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yoga isn\u2019t a replacement for a check-up with your doctor.<\/strong>
Make sure to follow trusted medical guidance and do your best to listen to your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start your own yoga journey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many of the short-term effects of yoga can be felt after attending a class or practicing at home for just a few weeks (that post-yoga glow anyone?<\/a>). But if it\u2019s stress-relieving, long-term health benefits you\u2019re after, try to stick with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with gaining strength and flexibility, imagine how you\u2019ll feel when finally able to pull off the more advanced moves. Roll out the mat and enjoy the benefits of yoga<\/strong>\u2014right now and down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
