Enhances muscle strength: Your strong muscles will help protect you against arthritis and back pain, and strengthens your stability. 4. Increases blood flow: This improves circulation, which then helps more oxygen to delivered to your red blood cells. 5. Drops your blood pressure: The higher the initial blood pressure, the bigger the drop when doing yoga. 6. Brightens your spirits: Studies have proven that practicing yoga increases serotonin levels and lessee depression. It also has been proven to help raise self-esteem. 7. Helps you to focus: An important concept taught in yoga is focusing on the present, heightening you abilities to solve problems and acquire new information. 8.
