    Flexibility, Stronger Muscles, Peace Of Mind, Healthier Mind, etc.

    I am a Buddhist and practice meditation every day. The benefit is the calming of the mind, which in turn will make you a happier person. The improved disposition will help you display more kindness and compassion to others, and because of this you will benefit with good Karma.

    Physically - Yoga (and anything that requires balance), works your “core” region. (thighs, flexors, abs, butt, etc).

    It can also be a great cardio workout - depending on the program. It doesnt always take running/jumping to get the heart rate up.

  4. Mia Says:

    Yoga is a mental excercise as well as a physical excercise.
    The best technique for any person contemplating to take up yoga is not to contemplate but to concentrate - on how yoga and its techniques is escalating into a world wide epidemic where yoga exercises are helping ailing patients and others who seek peace of mind.

  5. Patty Says:

    another benefit to yoga is enhanced concentration. so basically you are able to focus and concentrate under stressful conditions with more ease. At least that’s why I do it :-)

  6. Siri Vedya Singh Says:

    “Prayer is when man talks to infinity.

    Meditation is when the mind becomes totally clean and receptive, and Infinity talks to man.”

    This quote says it all about the benefits.
