The benefits of Yoga practice extend far beyond the time spent doing it. 1015 minutes of yoga practice and relaxation daily is enough to help the body cope with everyday stressful living. Hatha Yoga or any other form of the exercise can replace the traditional running, swimming and cycling that the population generally regards as 'recreational' activity. Yoga is the ideal exercise. For reasons previously mentioned, Yoga is perfect for combating problems in the body caused by stress.
Stress is unavoidable in today's frenetic world.
Everybody will suffer from the ravages of stress on the body. If left unchecked for too long serious physical disease can result. Tension in the body restricts blood flow which forces the heart to pump harder to get oxygen around the body. Over an extended period of time, many physical symptoms such as stomach ulcers can occur. Yoga can be the answer to many of today's health problems.
