Benefits of Yoga Asanas

The yoga postures known as asanas, bend the spine in many different ways:

  • forward

  • backward

  • side to side

  • twisiting from one side to the other

Moving the spine in this way keeps the spine supple and healthy and nourishes the entire nervous system. The asanas release tension and blocke energy; lengthen and strengthen the muscles, tone, stimulate, and massage internal organs. Thus, the muscles, and organs are bathed in blood, nutrients, and prana. Every cell is rejuvenated and cleansed. Respiration, cardiac functioning, elimination, and mental clarity improve, fatigue and stress are reduced.
