The benefits of yoga

When we start a diet, weight and fat markers are often the vanes that dictate where the wind blows. Are we doing well? Do we need to change any more of our routines? Well, with the practice of yoga, we also have indicators that improve in our bodies. Let's look at the most important ones.

1.  Reduces blood pressure and heart rate. Yoga is a discipline that works with large muscle groups, not focusing on just one part of our anatomy. The aerobic part of the exercise also gains special importance, so our circulatory and coronary systems feel the benefits.
2.  Increases flexibility and improves posture. The gentle movement in joints and tendons allows your body to stretch in a conscious and controlled way through practice, avoiding injuries and increasing muscle tone.
3.  Helps with weight loss. It is established that with the practice of certain types of yoga, you can burn about 500 calories per hour. This makes it a great exercise to combine with a diet to keep your weight in check.
4.  Helps lower cortisol levels, the stress hormone. Thus, your nervous system benefits, improving its health in an environment where the clock constantly traps us.

In addition to the benefits that the practice of yoga already brings, we add the natural environment of the Sant Joan de Binissaida estate. The clean air, contact with nature, and the necessary doses of sunlight from practicing outdoors complete a retreat designed to start the new season with strength and resilience. Here we tell you everything.
