Yoga

An over 5,000 year old Indian practice, yoga represents the unification of body and mind. Famous as one of the oldest life philosophies, the teachings of yoga furthermore pursue the goal to guide practitioners towards more self-awareness and help to balance out body, soul and mind.

While yoga used to primarily be a form of religious practice, this Hindi art of motion has moved on to become a means for personal development and rediscovering the essential things in life. In more recent years, yoga established itself as a trend sport and finds new disciples all over the world each and every day.

Yoga stands out due to its countless positive characteristics, all contributing to an increased well-being.

The Positive Effects of Yoga

The interplay between tension and relaxation does not only help to improve the mental condition, but also furthers several positive effects on psyche and health of the practitioner.

The soft approach and practice of yoga exercises enhances the physical abilities and keeps developing them in a most careful fashion. A wide variety of breathing and movement exercises do not only further the practitioners’ individual mobility, but also help to strengthen their muscle systems, to release muscular tensions and to improve posture patterns.

In addition to all this, your mental state also benefits from the positive effects of yoga. Relaxing elements and specific exercises calm your mind and aim to reduce possible fears, to counteract depression and to strengthen mental approach and self-confidence.

Whatever benefits mind and body, inevitably has a positive impact on your overall health. Since all techniques of this Indian art of motion are based on the principles of stretching, relaxation and deep breathing, yoga improves blood circulation and concentration, strengthens the immune system and counteracts chronic stress.
