top 10 yoga tips - for your best practice
1. STRESS RELIEF
yoga reduces the physical effects of stress on the body by encouraging relaxation and lowering the levels of the stress hormone, cortisol
related benefits include lowering blood pressure and heart rate, improving digestion and boosting the immune system, as well as easing symptoms of conditions such as anxiety, depression, fatigue, asthma and insomnia
2. PAIN RELIEF
yoga can ease pain
studies have demonstrated that practising yoga asanas, meditation or a combination of the two, reduced pain for people with conditions such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, auto-immune diseases and hypertension as well as arthritis, back and neck pain and other chronic conditions

yoga teaches people to take slower, deeper breaths
this helps to improve lung function and trigger the body's relaxation response

yoga helps to improve flexibility and mobility, increasing range of movement and reducing aches and pains
