Reasons why Arham Yoga

[संयम स्वर्ण महोत्सव]

"For breath is life, and if you breathe well, you will live long on earth."-Sanskrit Proverb Whether you practice arham meditation and yoga daily or have just taken your first arham yoga class, you've probably noticed some benefits - relaxed state of mind, better sleep, or more energy. Although we are still learning and measuring yoga's benefits. Western science is uncovering clues about this ancient practice and it's affect on longevity and life span. Here are just 12 of the many benefits that influence longentivity and promote a long, healthy life.

 

1. Prevent cartilage and joint breakdown

Arham Yoga practice takes joints through their full range of motion, which helps joint cartilage receive fresh nutrients, prevents wear and tear, and protects underlying bones. This also helps prevent degenerative arthritis and mitigates disability.

 

2. Increases bone density and health.

Many postures in yoga require weight hearing, which strengths bones and helps ward off osteoporosis. Specifically, yoga strengthens arm bones that are particularly vulnerable to osteoporotic fractures. Many studies shown that yoga practice increases overall bone density.

 

3. Increases blood flow

Arham Yoga gets your blood flowing! Relaxation helps circulation, movement brings more oxygen to your cells (which function better as a result), twisting brings fresh oxygenated blood to organs, and inversions reverse blood flow from the lower body to the brain and heart. additionally, yoga increases hemoglobin levels in red blood cells, helping prevent blood clots, heart attacks, and strokes.

 

4. Cleanses lymph and immune systems

Arham Yoga movements in draining lymph, allowing the system to better fight inflection, destroy diseased cells, and rid toxic waste in the body. Furthermore, meditation appears to have a beneficial effect on the functioning of the immune system, boosting it when needed (i.e. raising antibody levels in response to a vaccine) and lowering it when needed (i.e. mitigating an inappropriately aggressive immune function in an autoimmune disease like psoriasis)

 

5. UPs you heart rate

Many classes such as Arham power yoga can boost heart rate into the aerobic range. Studies found that yoga can lower resting heart rate, increases endurance, and improves maximum uptake of oxygen during exercise-all reflections of improved aerobic conditioning. Studies have also found that those who practice pranayama or "breath control" are able to do more exercise with less oxygen. regularly moving heart rate into the aerobic range lowers risk of heart attack and can relieve depression.

 

6. Regulates your adrenal glands

Arham Yoga lowers cortisol levels. If high, they compromise the immune system and may lead to permanent changes in the brain. Excessive cortisol has also been linked with major depression, osteoporosis, high blood pressure, and insulin resistance.

 

7. Lowers blood sugar

Arham Yoga lowers blood sugar and LDL ("bad") cholesterol and boosts HDL ("good") cholesterol. In people with diabetes, yoga has been found to lower blood sugar by lowering cortisol and adrenaline levels, encouraging weight loss, and improving sensitivity to the effects of insulin. Lowering blood sugar levels decreases you risk of diabetic complications such as heart attack, kidney failure, and blindness.

 

8. Improves your balance

Regularly practicing yoga increases proprioception (the ability to feel what your body is doing and where it is in space) and improves balance. Better balance could mean fewer falls. For the elderly, this translates into more independence and delayed admission to a nursing home or never entering one at all.

 

9. Calms nervous system and helps you sleep deeper

Stimulation in our modern society can tax our nervous system. Yoga and meditation encourage turning inward of the senses and removal of stimuli, providing much needed downtime for the nervous system and better sleep - meaning you'll be less tires, stressed, and less likely to have accidents.

 

10. Gives your lungs room to breathe

Yogis tend to take fewer breaths of greater volume, which is both calming and more efficient. Yogic breathing has been shown to help people with lung problems due to congestive failure and improve measures of lungs function, including maximum volume of breath and efficiency of exhalation. Yoga promotes breathing through the nose, which filters, warms, and humidifies air. This helps prevent asthma attacks while also removing pollen, dirt, and other things you'd rather not take into your lungs.

 

11. Improved digestion

Arham Yoga promotes healthy digestion by moving the body in ways that facilitate more rapid and efficient transport of food and waste products through the bowels. Healthy digestion helps lower the risk of colon cancer and diseases of the digestive track.

 

12. Encourages self-care and healthy lifestyle.

Perhaps the greatest benefits of yoga is its ability to inspire and improve self-care and healthy living. As yogis tend to be more involved in their own health and care, they discover they have the power to effect positive change in their lives and tend to adopt more healthy habits. Over time, healthy living has a large impact on life expectancy.
