A yoga practice can provide women with both obvious and unexpected benefits for the body, mind and spirit. International yoga expert Colleen Saidman says yoga “offers women solace, reflection, joy, acceptance and ease in their bodies.” 

Colleen found her yoga practice in 1994. She had first tried it in the late ‘80s, but she says she was too focused on her athletics to give it much attention. Once a runner, boxer and professional model, Colleen initially began yoga as a physical outlet after a back injury, but it began transforming every realm of her life.

“I was so used to running, literally and figuratively,” Colleen says. “And yoga sort of made me sit and be with whatever was coming up at that moment.”

Yoga can help women find physical and emotional balance, as well as self-acceptance. Colleen emphasizes how yoga works every part of the body, offering movement in every direction along with stimulation of the organs, muscles and bones.

1. Energy: Yoga exercises, breath control training (pranayama) and use of yoga body locks all work to activate and balance your energy pathways, giving you the vitality and power you need to maximize your potential.

2. Strength: By strength here we don’t just mean physical muscular strength, although that will benefit greatly as well due to the steady holding of yoga poses and the exercises that yoga incorporates, but also the strength of your internal physiological systems.  Strength of your immune system, nervous system, digestive system, respiratory system, circulatory system, reproductive system, etc.

3. Healing: The power of Yoga to heal ailments and cure diseases is becoming more and more an integral part of mainstream medical practice and treatment methods.  This ability of Yoga to heal also promotes longevity.

4. Flexibility:  Yoga postures (asanas) are perhaps the best type of exercises you can do to improve flexibility.  Flexibility is essential for avoiding injuries as well as for the health of the joints, tendons and muscles.

5. Peace: Yoga meditations and practice methodology promotes a greater awareness and appreciation of the present moment, which calms the mind and allows the peace deep within to surface.

6. Joy: With the maturing of a Yoga practice, the beauty and depth of life become more apparent and the spontaneous joy of existence emerges.

7. Compassion: Yoga values and philosophy, along with the practice of yoga meditations, dissolves one’s ego-centric reality, thus developing other mindedness, thoughtfulness, generosity and compassion.

Mental Health Benefits of Yoga:

8. Brain Development: Yoga breathing exercises and yoga meditations develop parts of the brain that are normally dormant.  Once these parts are activated the power of intuition, as well as other latent powers are unleashed.  In addition as the brain develops so does your intelligence and clarity of thoughts.

9. Concentration: The requirement of many Yoga meditations to keep the mind focused on a single object or mantra (sound vibrations), helps to dramatically increase your power of concentration and focused attention.

10. Awareness: Yoga can simply be called the Science of Awareness.  This is its primary purpose.  To refine and increase awareness so that you can penetrate the veil of the ordinary dualistic mind and encounter your Divine Nature within.

The practice of yoga is more than 5,000 years old, and it’s more popular now than ever. People from all walks of life are discovering the physical, mental and spiritual benefits of stretching their muscles and breathing deeply. Dr. Oz talks with Dr. Sandra McClanahan, family physician and yoga practitioner, about some of the medical benefits of yoga.
Even five minutes of simple stretching can make a difference in your health, Dr. McClanahan says. Moving muscles slowly will relax and loosen them, allowing better blood and lymph flow to restore the body and renew energy. Lymph fluid is filled with white blood cells that go to areas of the body that need repair. Because the lymph doesn’t have a dynamic pump behind it, like the heart for blood, we can assist the flow through deep breathing and stretching.
Sandra shares some simple exercises to help relax, refresh and restore your body, even when you only have a few minutes:

Stress

  An article in Yoga Journal points out that many children are under great stress from school, peers, activities and home life. Yoga may be able to help children reduce stress and deal more effectively with stressful situations.

Anger Management

  Yoga helps calm the mind and bring peace even into situations that would normally provoke anger. In theory, children who learn these skills early will be less prone toward anger as adults.

Body Awareness

  Yoga helps to develop body awareness, which can increase self esteem in children as their bodies change and grow. Yoga can also help children maintain flexibility as they grow.

ADHD

  According to research conducted at the University of Heidelberg, yoga for children can be effectively used in conjunction with medication to treat children with ADHD.

Considerations

  Yoga for children should be presented in a fun and simple manner that children can relate to. Companies such as YogaKids, Yoga Calm, Karma Kids Yoga and Rainbow Kids Yoga train instructors to teach yoga for children and produce DVDs for kids yoga at home.
