What yoga does to your body and brain – Krishna Sudhir

coming from a family who prioritize working out at the gym and taking care ones health. i can ensure you, mobility yoga like exercises really improves your endurance,mobility and strength in the long run, especially in old age. my mom is only in her early 50s, but peeps tho she was my older sister or even shockingly on one occassion ,tho it was my gf because of how young she looks. so people, do make an effort to exercise ones body if you want to age gracefully and able to move well even in your 60s or 70s, instead of using crutches, canes or ended up on a bed in a hospital.

I like to tell people that yoga stacks functions. In one hour you earn strength, flexibility and mental clarity. Add heat and you get detox. The more you do the better you get so it aids confidence. Comment below with further functions of yoga!!!

This video is really shallow on the origin, various facets, and overall aim of Yoga. And it is disproportionately critical of the positive effects produced by practice of Yoga. But still, it cannot ignore the truth behind Yoga.

I started doing yoga when the quarantine started as a way of taking care of my body. In those few weeks, I'm no longer having muscle pain caused by stress, and I'm much more flexible.

Give ur yoga for my hand

Injured my shoulder last year. Did a lot of weight lifting and yoga since. I wake up and want to do yoga. Before I go to sleep I want to do yoga. Great stuff. It’s made me much happier with not a lot of effort.

Yoga has help change my life! Now in my 200 hr YTT to become a teacher! ❤

I credited my yoga practice with completely curing my debilitating lower back pain. Nothing else I tried worked, even regular injections. Yoga made all the difference.

When doing yoga asana practice, there are times when we reach the desired balance between effort and ease, allowing for higher concentration and integration. Now, this is my experience and I think others will agree- you don’t want much random external sensory input here, because you are focused on your self a rather neutral environment is desirable because you are also going to certain extremes of effort and staying there – your brain is more on edge and you dont want to have to spend energy in filtering out what is coming from the inside and what is coming from the outside. It would disconnect you from the current of integration of your own energies I believe. In fact, this could easily lead to over effort which is potentially damaging – because we are opening up places within us, it could lead to disorder or messing up with inner contents. This is my experience. It may be different for others, I have trauma and dissociative disorder so I guess I need to be more careful with this than others would need to. My nervous system is already overworked and on edge so I benefit most from gentle practices that are centred on releasing tension. I think some people use yoga to get into flow states similar to the runner's high, thanks to the bodymind integration, increased tissue oxygenation, chemical release, renewed energy flow and tension release, there comes a focused centred state that can potentially be used for anything. People who are relatively free from inner disorders, may easily get above this external input or even welcome it and may use this state for creative pursuits instead of self healing.

This neutral environment is also desirable to maintain in any kind of psychic practice where you are taking yourself to places where you are easily thrown out of balance. My aura is easily readable and I once had a intuitive neighbour who preyed on my feelings. Every time intensity aroused there he was next to my wall, this lead me to high stress and was forced to use dissociative tactics to cope. He would also talk to himself while I was agitated to move my energy out of place so that he can get into it. You see there are times when just like during an asana, one works in ways that take you closer to your psycho emotional edges and traumatic intensities and it is a hard balance to maintain. You dont want to create further agitation while that goes on. Once I read that when we are next to other people, our body makes an automatic adjustment of our solar plexus to connect to the solar plexus of the other person – in this adjustment there is potential loss if one was trying to keep a delicate balance and will clearly alter the continuum of the experience, interfering with its later integration. My neighbour did not seem to care at all. If I was sleeping soundly, he would also not care to keep silence so that I could get rest needed for good grounding and reset that helps me keep balance. It is as if he just wanted me to work out of control so that he could enter into me more easily. This was horrible, no need to say. I should charge him for this.

Where's the answer to the clickbait question?

Yoga has been the only thing to ground me during a panic attack

Yoga saved my life

I need the editor to make a masterclass on how to make such a smooth presentation

i'm not a Hindu-follower nor Indian, though in the beginning of the video, you said "restraining the mind on focusing on external objects in efforts to reach a state of pure consciousness.", shouldn't it be looked into to explain its benefits to mental health?

yoga has improved my daily life
it changes inner reality and hence outer world looks more beautiful

all the talk about yoga /they all fall for it /rigid men started it and women where not even aloud to do it /how they tell you to breath is backward its not even how breath works /they are all out their quoting the Buddha colonially not quoting native americans when their flow form luxury body work blows all other body work out of the water /native americans should be teaching the world how breath really works and that free self sufficient birth right body luxuriating work is the sacred way to walk in beauty its the realer real decolonization /one body and pocket book at a time /no pay me to – – – yoga instructor could ever give your originary majesty of practicing living deliciously in your own skin/in the sacredness between ligaments /organs/bones/ muscles

3 months ago I was broke, anxious, and completely lost. My friend sent me Manifest and Receive by Eva Hartley and I read it in one sitting. Not even kidding, my whole energy shifted. I stopped chasing and started receiving. New clients, better sleep, confidence back. people don’t sleep on this. 😭✨

If you're reading this right now, I just want to say; I'm rooting for you. We’re strangers, but that doesn’t mean I don’t care. I know what it’s like to feel like you're pushing a boulder uphill. I felt that way until I picked up Manifest and Receive by Eva Hartley. I can’t explain it perfectly, but it changed my whole perspective. Since then, things have been flowing—money, peace, confidence. Maybe this is your moment too. Stay open. Wishing you more than you ever imagined. 💫💰

Bilwadi Churna by Planet Ayurveda is a classical remedy for diarrhea with mucous and gas formation.

I like it so it's good for me

Teachers, you could share your yoga exercises or knowledge on Strongbody to expand your influence and seek collaboration opportunities, couldn't you?

I do lifting, hiking and interval training, the addition of yoga has been really helpful to improve breathing technique, flexibility and balance. It's helped me with form awareness and alignment during lifts, and inhalation + exhalation timing comes much more naturally – immensely helpful!

Yoga is so great! I had been doing personal training for years, and when I started doing yoga, I was even more flexible and have been able to push myself harder! And there may not be substantial evidence for it, but I can definitely say yoga helps with mental health. Directly, by helping to meditate, breathe, slow down, and just making time to relax and be quiet. But also indirectly with feeling better physically – both feeling more flexible, but also more strong, more capable, and seeing the improvement over time. I personally find it helps in tandem with strength training/weight lifting. I can move the weights deeper into the position, and yoga helps with the tension/soreness after. It’s a beautiful cycle of stretching helps with strength, and strength training makes me want to stretch! Feeling physically better ALWAYS helps with mental health.
