GoBeauty Blog came to the gym and asked girls and boys who have been practising yoga for several years. They told us how their lives changed after getting to know yoga practice.

1. Ben, 23 years old Yoga helped me to improve my physical condition. I began to practice it about a year ago until I have yet to consider myself advanced, but most simple asanas I am already able to fulfil. During this time, I was able to improve the posture, began to feel easy..

Coach comment. Yoga helps to strengthen muscles and vessels, get rid of pains in the lower part of the spine, develop flexibility. In addition, regular exercises help to heal all organs and systems of the body, because when performing asanas there is a massage of the internal organs. A pleasant bonus of classes is a more graceful movement.

2. Marta, 29 years old. «After 5 months of training, I was able to get rid of the excess weight that was gained during pregnancy. Of course, not only the exercise helped but also a complete revaluation of values. I’m happy to start practising yoga..

Coach comment. A few years ago, American scientists conducted an experiment with adolescents and found that yoga and Pranayama changed blood circulation and metabolism in the body and even reduced the amount of stomach that led to a natural adjustment to the diet. And regular training helps to develop gamma-aminobutyric acid, which is responsible for weight loss.

3. Sarah, 45 years old. «When I started practising yoga, I was expecting to pull a figure but got a nice bonus – strong nerves. Now, after a hard day, I do not take the soothing, and I hurry to the training gym.».

Coach comment. Any physical exercises are capable of removing irritability, but in yoga itself, there are special techniques of relaxation, through which it is possible not only to calm down but also to clear the mind from unnecessary thoughts, information, anxieties. This is achieved due to the fact that the classes help to reduce the level of cortisol – a stress hormone. The result is a good feeling and clarity of thoughts.

4. Susan, 52 years old. «I did not fully understand how it works, but after training, I leave the hall like on the wings. Previously, I have engaged in power exercises and out of the room came out like a squeezed lemon, and now I go out of training with a smile on my face».

Coach comment. Yoga really makes people happier. Studies have shown that yoga raises the level of serotonin (a hormone of happiness), which raises the mood, gives strength and makes life more positive.

Coach comment. Yogic practice develops intuition, gives peace to the spirit, and most importantly – consciousness. Most of my students, coming in for a beautiful body, received not only a slim figure but also became the masters of their destiny. Even everyday affairs get a new meaning since a person relates not to a natural disaster, but consciously, takes responsibility for own actions and decisions.
