The Mental Benefits are HUGE (survey says)

By far the most common reason to do yoga in our recent survey responses, was for mental calm and clarity.
 
This was reported more often than any of the physical benefits (which of course are undeniable, as are all the other benefits that yoga can bring).
 
Fitness and spiritual exploration and connection were also very popular reasons to come to a yoga class. 
 
Yoga is an all rounder, which is why it has stood the test of time. The fruits of our practice include physical, mental and spiritual aspects integrated into a beautiful sense of wholeness and vibrant serenity. 
 
The Mental Benefits are HUGE
When we feel better mentally, then our mood is better, we enjoy life more, we show up in our relationships with our family, friends and at work better, and we are healthier in all aspects. Our diet is better, our sleep improves, we take better care of our self and everyone benefits. 
 
Improving our mental state is life changing. We experience everything through a more positive perspective. We get less caught up in the negative spirals and the over-thinking. We learn how to reset ourselves and get quicker at overcoming upsets and frustrations. 
 
Mental clarity and calm can be cultivated in only a short space of time once you know a few techniques to get you there, and you all you need to do it show up and do them. 
 
And brilliantly, the effects of yoga are reliable and accumulative. It works. 
 
A single class feels amazing and the after-glow mentally lasts way beyond the class.
 
A regular weekly class builds up and accumulates over time. Your nervous system anticipates it so that the effects are present just because you anticipate your class, before you even get there. And the benefits last longer and are easier to bring to mind throughout the week. 
 
A daily practice of even just 10 minutes compounds this connection and calm even further. Cultivating a state of mind that becomes more integrated and reliable in daily life. 
 
A yoga retreat allows you to deepen your experience, take it to a new level and inspire how you practice when back in everyday life. 
 
Everything and everyone, including you, will benefit as a result.
