When it comes to choosing between a bit of yoga and a major, invasive operation, I, for one, will select the former!
Choose Yoga! Choose Yoga!
Plastic surgery can restore our looks – maybe. But it cannot reverse our
age. We might look better, but it doesn’t improve our health. There is no
substitute for actually being healthy, and yoga practice is a way to actually
reverse the effects of aging from the inside, versus a cosmetic bit of surgery
that is intended only to impact our outer self.
Loss of muscle tone is a natural phenomenon that quite simply makes one look
older. It also affects circulation and general health. There are many ways to
counter the loss of body tone and improve circulation. Most involve physical
activities; such as running, jogging, racquet sports, swimming, gym workouts,
and so on. It all works, yet nothing may work as well as yoga, which starts
from the inside, and improves all around health.
Yoga is a great cross training tool for virtually all sports. It’s a total
fitness experience, that involves hundreds of different exercises, both aerobic
and non-aerobic. Yet yoga goes far beyond simple athletics. Through its
controlled and precise breathing; and through its strengthening, stretching,
and endurance building exercises, the entire body becomes toned. Circulation is
stimulated. The mind relaxes.
Yoga especially affects fascia, which is the “bag that holds your body
together.” Fascia is the soft tissue
component of the connective tissue system that permeates the
human body. It interpenetrates and surrounds muscles,
bones,
organs,
nerves,
blood vessels
and other structures, an uninterrupted, three-dimensional web of tissue that
extends from head to toe, from front to back, from interior to exterior. It is
responsible for maintaining structural integrity; for providing support and
protection; and acts as a shock absorber.
So yoga firms you up from the inside. Isn’t that better than having somebody
slice you up from the outside?
