Hello Dear Yogis,
Yoga is a practice that is suitable for everyone. Thoughts like “I’m fat so I can’t do yoga” or “I’m not flexible so I can’t do yoga” are common, but yoga is suitable for all body types and ages.
Yoga helps you accept your body as it is and discover your inner strength.
*Yoga is for Everyone:* Yoga is an activity that everyone can participate in, regardless of your physical appearance or flexibility level.
Yoga practice increases body awareness and improves mental flexibility.
*Weight and Yoga:* Yoga can be practiced regardless of weight.
Studies show that yoga practice is effective in combating obesity and overweight. For example, yoga can help with weight control and improving body composition.
Yoga can contribute to the weight loss process by increasing metabolic rate and reducing stress.
Additionally, yoga helps promote healthier eating habits by increasing body awareness and may reduce emotional eating behaviors.
Additionally, yoga provides mental and emotional support during the weight loss process.
Breathing exercises and meditation performed during yoga provide mental calmness and stress management, which contributes to mental and emotional support during the weight loss process.
Thus, yoga supports the weight management process by helping to improve both physical and mental health. In this context, yoga offers a holistic approach to combating obesity and overweight.
*Age and Yoga:* Yoga is suitable for people of all ages. From young to old, everyone can achieve better physical function and mental well-being through yoga.
*Differences Between Indian and Western Bodies:* Lifestyles and eating habits differ between Indian and Western cultures. However, yoga can be practiced in every culture and every body type. The effects of yoga on flexibility and strength are independent of lifestyle and eating habits.
*Yoga and the Immune System:* Yoga has positive effects on the immune system and can reduce inflammatory markers.
*Lemon Tree Yoga School and Yoga:* At Lemon Tree Yoga School, we believe that every individual is unique and everyone can do yoga.
With our online lessons, we enable everyone to practice at their own pace, in their own home.
Rather than changing our body, yoga teaches us to be at peace with our existing self.
As Pema Chödron says:
"Yoga is not about throwing ourselves away, it is about making friends with who we are."
Yoga offers us the opportunity to discover ourselves and be at peace with who we are.
With love,
Lemon Yogis
