Yoga: Tap Into the Many Health Benefits

Understanding yoga

Yoga is a kind of posture and breathing exercise. It brings together physical and mental disciplines to achieve peace of body and mind, helping you relax and manage stress and anxiety. Traditional yoga puts emphasis on behavior, diet and meditation. But if you’re just looking for better stress management-and not an entire lifestyle change-yoga can still help. Yoga trainers gradually choose easier to complex activities for practitioners. However, all practitioners do not necessarily need the same kinds of practice.

The health benefits of yoga

The potential health benefits of yoga are numerous and may include:

Stress reduction

With its quiet, precise movements, yoga draws your focus away from your busy and chaotic day towards calm as you move your body through poses that require balance and concentration.

Increased fitness

As you learn and refine new poses, you may enjoy improved balance, flexibility, range of motion and strength. And this means you’re less likely to injure yourself in other physical endeavours or in your daily activities.

Management of chronic health conditions

Yoga might help in a variety of health conditions, such as cancer, depression, pain, anxiety and insomnia, fatigue and mood shifts. Yoga can also help reduce heart rate and blood pressure.

Weight loss

If you’re overweight or have eating disorder, yoga may help you make the healthy lifestyle changes necessary to gain control of your eating and reduce weight.

While you shouldn’t expect yoga to cure you or offer you 100 percent relief, it can help some health conditions when combined with standard medical treatment. And if you already enjoy good health, yoga can be an enjoyable supplement to your regular fitness routine.

যোগব্যায়াম কী?

যোগব্যায়াম হল এক ধরনের শারীরিক ভঙ্গি এবং শ্বাস–প্রশ্বাস নিয়ন্ত্রণের অনুশীলন। এটি শারীরিক ও মানসিক শৃঙ্খলাকে একত্রিত করে শরীর ও মনের শান্তি অর্জন করতে সাহায্য করে, যা আপনাকে চাপ ও দুশ্চিন্তা কমাতে এবং মানসিকভাবে প্রশান্ত থাকতে সহায়তা করে।

প্রচলিত যোগব্যায়ামে আচরণ, খাদ্যাভ্যাস এবং ধ্যানের উপর জোর দেওয়া হয়। তবে আপনি যদি কেবলমাত্র চাপ মোকাবিলার উপায় খুঁজছেন এবং পুরো জীবনধারা পরিবর্তন করতে না চান, তাহলেও যোগব্যায়াম উপকারী হতে পারে। প্রশিক্ষকরা সাধারণত সহজ থেকে কঠিন ভঙ্গির দিকে অগ্রসর হন, তবে সবার জন্য একই ধরনের অনুশীলন প্রয়োজন হয় না।

যোগব্যায়ামের স্বাস্থ্য উপকারিতা

চাপ কমানো

যোগব্যায়ামের শান্ত, সুনির্দিষ্ট গতিবিধি আপনার ব্যস্ত ও অস্থির দিন থেকে মনোযোগ সরিয়ে নিয়ে আসে প্রশান্তির দিকে। বিভিন্ন ভঙ্গির মাধ্যমে শরীরকে সঠিক ভারসাম্যে ও মনোযোগের কেন্দ্রে রাখা হয়, যা চাপ কমাতে সহায়ক।

শারীরিক সক্ষমতা বৃদ্ধি

নতুন ভঙ্গি শেখা এবং চর্চার মাধ্যমে আপনার ভারসাম্য, নমনীয়তা, নড়াচড়ার পরিসর ও শক্তি বৃদ্ধি পেতে পারে। এর ফলে দৈনন্দিন কাজ বা অন্যান্য শারীরিক কার্যকলাপে চোট লাগার সম্ভাবনা কমে।

দীর্ঘমেয়াদী স্বাস্থ্য সমস্যা ব্যবস্থাপনা

যোগব্যায়াম ক্যান্সার, বিষণ্নতা, ব্যথা, দুশ্চিন্তা, অনিদ্রা, অবসাদ ও মেজাজের পরিবর্তন সহ বিভিন্ন স্বাস্থ্য সমস্যার ব্যবস্থাপনায় সহায়ক হতে পারে। এটি হৃদস্পন্দনের গতি কমাতে এবং রক্তচাপ নিয়ন্ত্রণে রাখতে সাহায্য করতে পারে।

ওজন কমানো

যদি আপনি অতিরিক্ত ওজনের সমস্যায় ভুগছেন বা খাদ্যাভ্যাসজনিত সমস্যা থাকে, তাহলে যোগব্যায়াম সুস্থ জীবনধারার অভ্যাস গড়ে তুলতে সহায়তা করতে পারে। এটি আপনার খাদ্যাভ্যাস নিয়ন্ত্রণ ও ওজন কমাতে সহায়ক হতে পারে।

যদিও যোগব্যায়াম সম্পূর্ণ আরোগ্য বা শতভাগ নিরাময়ের নিশ্চয়তা দেয় না, তবে এটি প্রচলিত চিকিৎসার পাশাপাশি অনেক স্বাস্থ্য সমস্যার উন্নতি ঘটাতে পারে। আর যদি আপনার শরীর সুস্থ থাকে, তাহলে যোগব্যায়াম আপনার দৈনন্দিন ফিটনেস রুটিনের একটি উপভোগ্য সংযোজন হতে পারে।
