“It is important not to abandon the practice of yoga because we believe it is driven by the wrong motivation. The practice of yoga itself transforms. Yoga has a magical quality”
- Ravi Ravindra
Just like what Ravi Ravindra said, yoga itself is magical! It’s not just another ordinary exercise. Yoga is a personal endeavor that leads you to a life full of inner peace and happiness. There are millions who can testify of that fact today and its magic doesn’t stop there. Aside from its spiritual and emotional benefits, Quro Health Studio Glebe hot yoga also imposes several science-proven health benefits that will surely transform your life to the better.
1. A Calmer You
Cytokine is a kind of protein that can make you feel moody and tired. A study by Psychosomatic Medicine showed that women who practiced yoga (at least once a week for two years or more) released 41% less cytokine compared to yogi freshies.
2. Sounder Nights and Better Days
Researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital noted that people (especially insomniacs) who practiced yoga for 45 minutes a day sleep 15 minutes faster and 1 hour longer when compared to those who don’t.
3. Say Goodbye to Body Pains
A study conducted by Spine revealed that sufferers who did two 90-minute routines a week for six months suffered 56% lesser aches compared to those who took painkillers and other meds who just lessened the soreness by 16%.
4. A Brighter Future
Lower levels of GABA (a brain chemical) are linked with several cases of depression. Boston University School of Medicine and McLean Hospital showed that doing 60-minute sessions of arsanas daily elevates the levels of GABA in the brain by 27% percent.
5. Higher Body Satisfaction
Women are body conscious and a study conducted by the University of California (Berkeley) showed that women who spent time doing their favorite yoga routines scored 20% higher in body satisfaction compared to those who don’t. In Quro Health Studio, a Glebe Yoga Studio, it’s not about how your body looks but how it works. Women who participated in the routines became more “connected” with their body – no wonder why they’re more satisfied with it.
