15-Minute Yoga for Aches and Pains
Yoga as the Antidote for the Stressors of Life
One of the reasons yoga is so effective at alleviating pain in the lower back, neck, and shoulders is that it works on a number of different levels simultaneously: loosening up joint restrictions, stretching tight muscles, re-activating weak muscles, adjusting alignment, relaxing the body, and calming the mind. A regular yoga practice has the potential to prevent and heal injury, to make you stronger, fitter, more supple, to enhance your physical performance, and to sharpen your mental focus.
As incredibly beneficial as an active lifestyle is to our physical and psychological health, unfortunately, there can be a downside if you don’t put back what you take out. This is where active recovery techniques like yoga come in.
