What are the therapeutic benefits of yoga? 2

It is very common to hear someone comparing the practice of yoga with any other physical activity such as bodybuilding, stretching, etc. It turns out that, as much has already been said on the blog, psychoactive postures or asanas are just one of the eight pillars of classic yoga and doing them goes well beyond physical conditioning.

The positions of yoga contribute a lot to the strengthening and relaxation of muscles, tendons and bones, but the original idea of ​​the postures is to prepare the body for meditation in a comfortable and seated position for long periods.

In addition, each asana has been designed with specific therapeutic functions that can contribute as much as any body therapy to the health of your body and mind. This is because these movements massage the organs and balance the functions of various internal glands.

Want to know some of these applications? So check out the list that yoga has done with some of the postures she considers most beneficial to our body.

1. Trikonasana – Triangle Bikram style

Posture involves strength and flexibility and challenges student concentration with detailed movements that can help or hinder shape in posture.

As we see in the photo of the  to the side, the triangle promotes the opening of hips and works the muscles of the legs. By strengthening and aligning the legs and hips, an improvement in the stability of the body occurs. Therefore, the organs in the area of ​​the hips – colon, kidneys, reproductive organs – and also the chakras associated with them are benefited.

The trunk twist combined with the intense opening of the arms promotes extension in the torso. This opens up space for the organs in the breast region to fully perform their functions. The combination of twisting and opening the hips also helps relieve back pain.

In addition, the great challenge of performing the posture helps to center, develop awareness and open the heart chakra (anahata), which helps you connect with what you love. Bikram Choudhury said, “When you improve your triangle, you improve your life 360º: mentally, physically, emotionally.”
