Importance Of Yoga Practises For Women’s Health And Psyche

by

At all times, yoga for a person was a teaching, surrounded by a mass of conjectures and stereotypes. This is because not every person is able to understand how it helps to manage human life, achieve success in certain areas of knowledge, and win over people. Everything unknown and incomprehensible is traditionally overgrown with many legends, sometimes far from the truth.

So it happened with the question of how yoga affects the human psyche. If at the level of the physical body it is still possible to understand that a set of exercises performed in yoga classes helps to strengthen muscles and normalize the functioning of internal organs, then with the mental state everything is much more complicated.

Consciousness and subconsciousness are rather subtle matters. Any impact on them should be careful, extremely accurate. And the very mechanism of the influence of yoga on the psyche is not entirely clear to the average person, so it is worth talking about this in more detail.

Aspects of the influence of yoga on the psyche

If you believe experienced practitioners, then group and individual yoga classes aim to solve two key problems:

Applying combinations of asanas, pranayamas, meditation, a person goes beyond the familiar world and plunges into a state of deep trance. This process is characterized by turning off consciousness and releasing negative energy, disturbing thoughts that were hidden at the subconscious level. Freed from internal experiences, problems that could torment for years, a person looks at the world and his role in it in a completely different way. The long-awaited relief comes, the further life path becomes obvious, as well as the ways to get the maximum pleasure from life.

The second point follows from the interconnection of the body and consciousness. Recall the saying “A healthy mind in a healthy body” – it best illustrates how yoga helps spiritual purification. It is believed that the sequence of asanas, breathing practices and meditation contributes to the opening of the chakras and the active movement of the life force contained in the body of each of us. When physical health improves, it has a positive effect on the human psyche.

If you follow the recommendations of teachers, then very quickly positive changes will occur in your life, since yoga helps to deal with complexes, insecurity, and gives determination.

The positive impact of practices on the psyche

The ability to abstract from the outside world, immerse yourself in yourself, your own thoughts, conduct an internal dialogue with your “Ego” is of great importance. If you practice yoga regularly, you will be able to find answers to many questions that do not allow you to feel real joy from life, to experience happiness. Just put on shapewear and start daily practises. 

Many people come to Eastern practices to learn and experience for themselves how yoga helps fight fears, phobias, stress, and depression. If you trust the teacher and regularly practice yoga, you will be able to qualitatively improve your being, namely:

What are the advantages over other sports?

Yoga has a beneficial effect on all organs and systems of the body. And unlike some sports, yoga can be practiced throughout life, significantly improving its quality, even in advanced years.

The meaning of yoga exercises is to take control of your body, thoughts and emotions.  In a short period of time the body and thoughts have time to recover. In this state, all body systems come into balance and begin to work calmly and efficiently, which has a beneficial effect on the restoration of proper metabolism.

For those who appreciate a toned body, yoga offers a wide range of possibilities. The effect of yoga classes is manifested the deeper, the more attention a person pays to other recommendations regarding lifestyle, exercise routine, sleep, work and rest, proper nutrition.

What happens when a person starts doing yoga?

Most of the asanas (poses) in yoga are aimed at maintaining the spine in a healthy state, that is, in a mobile state, without clamping and stressing, since when clamped, the spine does not receive sufficient nutrition and therefore degenerative processes begin. Yoga therapy works well with intervertebral hernias and other diseases. The straightening of the spine is accompanied by the expansion of the chest, which means more complete breathing.

Taking certain postures, we massage the internal organs and stimulate the endocrine glands.

Let the poses be difficult at first, but you will soon notice that each time they get better and better.

The benefits of yoga also lie in the fact that it increases the level of hemoglobin, the number of red blood cells and reduces blood viscosity, which significantly reduces the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.

Yoga helps to get rid of two more diseases of our time – from stress and depression. Relaxing tension in the muscles, deeply rooted there, we rid the body of unnecessary, unnecessary tension. Yoga will help you learn to relax. With relaxation, all systems begin to work more actively. Improves digestion, sexual function. The endocrine system works well, balancing the hormonal background, which means it contributes to a balanced state. In addition, regular practice eliminates the effects of stress – ulcers and some digestive problems.

In addition, yoga preserves youth and improves skin condition. Women who practice for a long time, in most cases, look much younger than their years.
