If you need to lose weight, Yoga will help you build your concentration and will power so that it’s easier to stay on a weight-loss program. Yoga breathing techniques (pranayama) are particularly helpful because they teach you to focus. In addition to strengthening your will, this practice also reduces harmful stress reactions and conserves energy so that more of it is available for living your life the way you want to. Learning how to cope with stress is important to anyone dealing with a chronic physical condition.
Yoga exercises tone and shape the body, improve flexibility, and contribute to overall well-being. Most Yoga exercises have a profound effect on improving circulation, especially to the extremities (which is a problem for some diabetics). Yoga exercises help keep the blood vessels elastic, and Yoga exercise combined with relaxation training has even been shown to reduce high blood pressure in some cases. After you’ve practiced for a while, you can add more vigorous exercises to your Yoga routine to give you the added benefits of some aerobic conditioning and increased muscle strength. Yoga exercises gently press on the body’s glands and organs, resulting in positive effects for the digestive, endocrine, and reproductive systems.
