4. Improves breathing: Deep breathing exercises in yoga, called Pranayama, enhances your lung capacity and aims at bringing more oxygen to the blood and brain. These exercises focus the attention on the breath and teach you how to better use your lungs. Like the asanas, pranayama also calms the mind, allowing a feeling of tranquility and emotional well-being to develop over time.

5. Detoxifies the body: As the asanas and the breathing techniques are gently massaging your organs, they are also increasing the blood flow to the various parts of the body. The increased blood flow cleans the body thoroughly and gets rid of all the toxins. This delays the aging process and also makes you feel energetic.

6. Helps against all types of pain: Many people who suffer from back pain spend a lot of time sitting at a computer or driving a car, that can cause tightness and spinal compression. Yoga is believed to decrease any kind of ache by helping the brain regulate the gate-controlling mechanism located in the spinal cord and by secreting natural painkillers in the body. Thus, it is very effective for people suffering with joint pain, back pain, arthritis pain etc.

7. Heart benefits: Yoga has long been known to lower blood pressure and slow the heart rate. And now studies have shown that performing yoga and meditation at least three times a week can lead to reduction in blood pressure, pulse and overall risk of heart disease. According to a study conducted at Yale University School of Medicine, volunteers taking a six-week yoga-meditation program improved their blood vessel function by 17 percent. Blood vessel function, also called endothelial function, is the way vessels contract and expand to aid blood flow and is a measure of healthy vessel function.
