Yoga asanas are known to increase relaxation. They also help manage water retention in the body. It enables a sound sleep schedule and, hence, better rest. A well-rested body is better able to perform functions such as regulating water in the body and stabilizing the heartbeat.
Yoga keeps the internal organs healthy, balances various systems in the body, and effectively controls stress on the body and mind. Certain yoga asanas and pranayama facilitate internal cleansing rituals that ensure the elimination of toxins from the body. It also ensures that blood flows to different body parts, keeping them fresh and energetic.
Throughout yoga, always ensure that you are listening to your body. If at any point you feel dizzy or if you feel pain, then please stop and speak to your doctor before continuing with the exercise. Also, always make sure that any vascular point of the body remains safe throughout the practice.
Always make sure to take a rest if it's necessary, but besides that, just relax, have fun, and enjoy yoga.
