coming from a soon to be yoga addict, here are many reasons why anyone should give it a try:
yoga enhances balance: when it's rush hour and you have nothing to hold on to while the train is swaying back and forth, you no longer have to knock the person behind you or stab someone with your heels. you will remain steady like a surfer on the waves.
yoga releases tension: think of that one spot in your body that craves for a massage all the time. now imagine someone going into that specific muscle and pulling it for you. that little someone is yoga.
yoga increases sleep: some of the yoga poses directly influence your brain cells. and with your body in total relaxation, your sleep will intensify like no other. you will feel like you just woke up from a shortened version of hibernation and still feel refreshed and energized for the day.
yoga lets you be who you are: there is no need to be self-conscious. the chances are, the person next to you is looking just as goofy doing some of the most extreme, outrageous poses.
yoga lets you sweat: or should i say yoga wants you to sweat. and sweating is the best way to get all the toxins out of your body.
yoga lets you nap: you get at least 5 minutes napping time at some point. does your school or workplace let you do that? i didn't think so.
yoga has perks: if you join a membership, chances are you get free shower, free towels, free shampoo/conditioner/bodysoap, free hair dryer, free moisturizer etc. basically less luggage for you to carry around.
yoga is not sexist: men should not be embarrassed about joining a class where the typical men to women ratio is probably 1:20. actually shouldn't that be a great reason?
yeah i think so.
