Yoga is a workout designed for your body. You use your own motions and breathing to work your body out. The thing I love the most about it is you learn how to use resistance with no machine and without running out of breath. You are training your body to stretch in new positions, becoming stronger and more flexible each time. The first day that I started yoga it was a little challenging. It was hard to balance and maintain each stance. But doing it everyday has helped my body to improve in many ways. I feel like I'm getting a full range in motion and not just trying to keep up with the DVD. Like I said in my last post I'm noticing that my arms and stomach muscles are flatter and more toned. When I go to work I don't feel like I'm always pushing through the day. At the very very least Yoga helps to wake up my muscles and stretch my neck and shoulders for the day. I know that any workout is good to relieve stress but there's something about doing a calm workout, like yoga, that doesn't leave you feeling sweaty and sore. Not to say that I don't love those workouts as well, but sometimes its nice to wake your joints up without running a 5K before work. Also, something I haven't researched yet, Yoga seems to help relieve cramps. :)
