Yoga has many benefits for both mental and physical health.
I know, that's why I'm trying to get in the habit of waking up early so I can start my day with a vinyasa routine.
The number one benefit of yoga is to decrease stress.
I definitely need to reduce stress in my life. I work as a waitress, so I have to deal with my customers' attitudes all day.
Another great benefit of yoga that would be good for you is increased flexibility.
I'm in my 40s now, so I'm not nearly as flexible as I used to be. I used to be able to touch my toes, but not anymore.
A good benefit for older people is back pain prevention.
That will definitely help me as a server. I have to carry plates full of food for hours at a time. My back hurts so bad by the end of the day.
Learning concentration through yoga also helps to calm the mind.
Mostly I'm interested in the stress relief and physical benefits, but I'd be open to a more meditative class.
