Incredible Benefits of Yoga
Yoga for Depression, Emotional Wellness & Relaxation
The Benefits of Yoga are being widely touted now and I am sure you have come across many sources indicating such benefits, including your truly of course . But I feel that the most powerful evidence regarding the benefits of yoga, are the real life testimonials that come from all of you. So from time to time, I like to share these real life yoga success stories with you, to help inspire and encourage you to incorporate yoga and meditation into your life, and thus also enjoy the profound benefits these sciences bestow.
So here is a small sample of recent feedback I have received regarding how yoga has been benefiting the online readers who use the free yoga & meditation classes, free online yoga videos, kundalini yoga exercises e-book, hatha yoga poses e-book and other free yoga and meditation resources available here on Mastery of Meditation and Yoga.
Yoga Benefits in Treating Depression & Diseases:
Hi Anmol. I have found your online classes immensely helpful. I am working, with your help on awakening chakras, beginning with the abdominal and working up the body. I have been following your classes for three weeks and combined with ayurvedic treatment have strengthened willpower, enabled regular practice, which has enabled me to stop taking antidepressants, which I have been using for two years, and control psoriasis more effectively than any medical treatment I have had in twenty years!
Yoga Promotes Emotional Wellness & Helps Break Addictions
Hi Anmol, I just want to thank you for your website once again. I’ve found I have made great improvements physically, mentally, and emotionally over the past month and a half through practicing many of the yoga techniques and breathing exercises which you have emailed me. I now meditate minimum about 3 or 4 times a week, as well as practicing a few poses and breathing techniques. As a result I have been able to release a lot of suppressed emotions, become more relaxed, and achieve an overall healthy emotional balance. Most importantly I managed to change a lot of bad habits in my life (unproductive things such as watching TV, playing video games), and I am far more productive, and loving.
Yoga & Meditation Help Reduce Stress & Promote Relaxation
Thank you sooo much for these videos. I was very skeptical about meditation, but once i began practicing, more and more it became a little more natural feeling. I serve at a local restaurant so stress comes everyday. Its great to come home and have a great, healthy way to unwind. Thanks a lot.
Yoga Benefits for Weight Loss
I am 47 years old and found this program on your website and did it for the first time yesterday. WOW! I really underestimated the power of this program. Had me burning up. Will definitely continue until I reach my desired weight and beyond.
Two Key Lessons Learned from the Benefits of Yoga Testimonials:
1. Consistent Yoga Practice is a Must:
From the above testimonials you can see the wide range of benefits that yoga bestows. The following article, summarizes these benefits for you, Top 10 Health Benefits of Yoga. One of the most important keys though, for obtaining these benefits is consistent practice.
In life, dreams and desires usually have to be earned. So if you want yoga and meditation to help you realize your dreams, you need to practice sincerely and regularly. If you do, there is no doubt that you will grow physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. There is no doubt you will accomplish your goals.
2. Meditation & Pranayama are a Must:
Yoga is more than just the physical exercises and poses. I have detailed it’s many branches in the article, Universal Principles of Yoga, and the 2 branches that time and again show up as key for enjoying the immense benefits of this science, are Meditation & Pranayama (Yoga Breathing Exercises). So including them in your daily spiritual work is a must.
Here are 2 popular online e-books to help you learn and incorporate these priceless techniques into your sadhana as well (daily spiritual practice)…
Yoga can be good for depression. It causes the mind and body to relax and push off negative thoughts.
