Benefits of Yoga
From personal experience and listening to my students, I have compiled a list of possible benefits when yoga is practiced regularly and in earnest. If you do yoga once per year and you don't really try, you aren't likely to experience these benefits. You need to make yoga a regular part of your life to experience noticeable changes.
