Through the practice of various yoga postures, yoga can enhance muscle strength, improve physical flexibility and balance, and help shape a fit and healthy body.

Secondly, yoga emphasizes breath control, which can regulate the autonomic nervous system, lower heart rate, reduce blood pressure, alleviate stress and anxiety, and enhance mental health. Yoga also increases flexibility and strength, improves posture, corrects不良 postures, and reduces muscle tension and pain caused by prolonged sitting or standing.

Yoga practice also helps promote blood circulation and accelerate metabolism, thus aiding in weight loss and body shaping. At the same time, yoga can enhance the functions of the respiratory and digestive systems, improve sleep quality, and boost immunity. Long-term consistent yoga practice can not only improve bodily functions but also cultivate concentration, enhance self-awareness, and achieve harmony and unity of body, mind, and spirit.

Yoga practice should be selected according to individual physical conditions, and performed under professional guidance to avoid injuries caused by improper practice.
