The benefits of yoga.

 There are so many benefits to yoga. And as an RYT 200 certified Yoga instructor, I can describe and explain the benefits from personal experience as well as scientific research reports.

When I was younger, I was always on dance, cheer, ballet, jazz, yoga, the list goes on. I always innately understood that there was a healing aspect to what I was doing. In the most simplest terms, I knew that if I wasn't feeling well, I could push through my workout, and would feel outstanding immediately after. I also understood on a very deep intuitive level that stretching was so much more beneficial than people made it out to be. Although at the time, I did not have the vocabulary to describe the healing attributes of the practice, I gained the wisdom and the words through continued practice and working closely with guru's and through spiritual reading & deep study of the Gita & Yoga Sutras. 

The benefits of yoga transcend the physical. There are many things that hinder our yoga & mental progression including traumas from our past, programming from society, and lack of self-awareness. All of which the benefits of yoga helps to enhance. 

Another benefit of yoga is to clear our auric fields. Our auric field goes way beyond and above our bodies. Some yogi's believe there is a higher supreme power. Call it whatever you wish: god, allah, creator, mother gaia, supreme being, Krishna, it doesn't matter. They are all the same being. Our auric field can both connect us to one another and to God. This is the ultimate benefit of yoga. Yoga helps to prepare our bodies for meditation. When our bodies and mind are prepped for meditation, we are able to connect more closely with God. Our auric field become clearer, our traumas are released, and we can hear the messages of God/Goddess more clearly.
