Benefits of YogaThere are many benefits of yoga, including:

• Stress relief: The practice of yoga is well-demonstrated to reduce the physical effects of stress on the body. The body responds to stress through a fight-or-flight response, which is a combination of the sympathetic nervous system and hormonal pathways activating, releasing cortisol – the stress hormone – from the adrenal glands. Cortisol is often used to measure the stress response. Yoga practice has been demonstrated to reduce the levels of cortisol. Most yoga classes end with savasana, a relaxation pose, which further reduces the experience of stress.

• Pain relief: Yoga can ease pain. Studies have shown that practicing yoga asanas (postures), meditation or a combination of the two, reduced pain for people with conditions such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, auto-immune diseases and hypertension as well as arthritis, back and neck pain and other chronic conditions.

• Better breathing: Yoga includes breathing practices known as pranayama, which can be effective for reducing our stress response, improving lung function and encouraging relaxation. Many pranayamas emphasize slowing down and deepening the breath, which activates the body’s parasympathetic system, or relaxation response. By changing our pattern of breathing, we can significantly affect our body’s experience of and response to stress. This may be one of the most profound lessons we can learn from our yoga practice.

• Flexibility: Yoga can improve flexibility and mobility and increase range of motion. Over time, the ligaments, tendons and muscles lengthen, increasing elasticity.

• Increased strength: Yoga asanas use every muscle in the body, increasing strength literally from head to toe. A regular yoga prac-tice can also relieve muscular tension throughout the whole body.

• Weight management: While most of the evidence for the effects of yoga on weight loss is anecdotal or experiential, yoga teachers, students and practitioners across the world find that yoga helps to support weight loss. Many teachers specialize in yoga programs to promote weight management and find that even gentle yoga practices help support weight loss. People do not have to practice the most vigorous forms of yoga to lose weight. Yoga encourages development of a positive self-image, as more attention is paid to nutrition and the body as a whole. A study from the Journal of Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine found that regular yoga practice was associated with less age-related weight gain. The lifestyle study of 15,500 adults in their 50’s covered 10 years of participants’ weight history, physical activity, medical history and diet.

• Improved circulation: Yoga helps to improve circulation by efficiently moving oxygenated blood to the body’s cells.• Cardiovascular conditioning: Even a gentle yoga practice can provide cardiovascular benefits by lowering resting heart rate, increas-

ing endurance and improving oxygen uptake during exercise.• Presence: Yoga connects us with the present moment. The more we practice, the more aware we become of our surroundings and

the world around us. It opens the way to improved concentration, coordination, reaction time and memory.• Inner peace: The meditative effects of a consistent yoga practice help many cultivate inner peace and calm. LGSRC members can now enjoy the benefits of Private Yoga Sessions at a lower rate. Privates are just $70 per ses-sion and Duets are just $45 per person per session. Please contact Deborah Rothschild, Group Exercise Director, at [email protected] for more information.

Stay hydrated to stay strongHydration is the greatest determinant of strength. A drop of 1.5 percent in water levels translates into a drop of 10 percent of your maximal strength and power. The leaner you are, the worse it is. Make sure you weigh the same or more at the end of your training session or athletic activities.

How much should I drink? 0.6-0.7 ounces per pound of bodyweight. Therefore, 120 to 140 ounces for a 200 pound man or 72 to 84 ounces per day for a 120 pound woman.

A recent study showed that men drinking five glasses of water a day versus two glasses per day had a 54% lower risk of dying of a heart attack.
