How Practicing Yoga Will Bring Peace to Your Life

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at USF chapter.

Of all exercises and acts of physical activity, yoga is one of the most efficient and rewarding. Yoga is also known as one of the most powerful anti-depressants. People are falling in love with yoga due to its restorative and detoxifying results.

Check out the reasons why yoga will bring peace to your life.

 

1. Detox from alcohol –  Yoga allows for a physical and mental detox from alcohol after a night of too much partying.

2. Aids in coping with heartbreak – Yoga teaches you to live in the moment and accept the present letting go of negativity. Yoga opens your mind and heart allowing you to receive more positive energy.  

3. Heal – Yoga will help you to forgive and to become more relaxed and comfortable with the person you are. When we lack forgiveness we hurt ourselves because we hold on to resentment. Forgive and you will find yourself feeling happier and free.

4. You will learn to love yourself – Yoga will teach you to love yourself and those around you unconditionally. Loving others unconditionally will keep you free of judgement and at peace with yourself.

5. Grow spiritually and mentally -We tend to lose enthusiasm as we age because we tend to worry more and let negativity occupy our minds. Yoga will teach you to make better decisions and meditate leaving you feeling like a 21-year-old beyond your 20’s.
