Do something for your health: do yoga!
World Yoga Day on June 21st reminds us of what yoga can do for us - our body, our mind and our soul. Yoga may be thousands of years old, but it is by no means outdated! On the contrary, with yoga you can practice holistic health care - i.e. do something good for your mind, soul and body. Most people who do yoga hope that it will reduce back pain. Which is also true.

World Yoga Day on June 21st reminds us of what yoga can do for us - our body, our mind and our soul
Yoga may be thousands of years old, but it is by no means outdated!
On the contrary, with yoga you can practice holistic health care - i.e. do something good for your mind, soul and body.
Most people who do yoga hope that it will reduce back pain. Which is also true. Finally, the diverse movement sequences, also known as asanas, have a beneficial and strengthening effect on the back, muscles, tendons and ligaments. Even someone who doesn't yet have a back can use yoga as a preventive measure.
However, yoga has much more to offer than just preventing and resolving back problems. Practiced regularly, it is a holistic method for promoting health with many positive effects on our mind, soul and body.
Even stress can be reduced with this method!
Are you wondering how this is supposed to work? It's simple: By combining the gentle movements with breathing, blood pressure, heart rate and muscle tension (which are always increased during stress) are reduced and cortisol (the number 1 stress hormone!) and adrenaline (another hormone which is increased during stress) are also reduced. This has been proven in various scientific studies and is one reason why health insurance companies, for example, recognize yoga courses as health care.
If that's still not enough for you, just give this method a try: Yoga, for example, also does the trick
– better mobility and an improved body feeling
– increased well-being
– greater resilience to work stress
– improved focus and ability to concentrate
– a reduction in anxiety and depression
– an improved sleep rhythm
Those who practice yoga regularly have even more advantages: Continuously higher amounts of the neurotransmitter serotonin are then released. This hormone is responsible for feelings of serenity, inner peace and contentment and also inhibits the release of cortisol, the number 1 stress hormone! The result: you not only reduce stress, you even prevent stress!
Therefore, on today's World Yoga Day: Roll out the yoga mat and get to the asanas!
