What is the advantage of Yoga over other exercises?
Yoga puts a lot of emphasis on:
- Breathwork
- Stretching
- Endurance
- Focus
Yoga’s integration of mind and body makes it a more well-rounded approach to exercise since it strengthens the mind and the body. The endurance gained from holding the different yoga poses also is a helpful way to build muscle, while also learning to balance and center the mind and body.
Exercise like strength training and aerobics work on your physical make-up mainly and partly on your mental make-up. Strength training or resistance training helps you to increases strength and aerobic exercises help you to increase your stamina of the muscles. But Yoga affects not only the physical and mental make-up but also your emotional and spiritual plane of existence.
