fitness How Does Yoga Improve Mental Health and Flexibility?

This general fitness thread covers all aspects of fitness, including workouts, nutrition, wellness tips, lifestyle changes, and fitness advice.
Yoga is known for its mental and physical benefits, but how does it specifically improve mental health? How does yoga help you manage stress, anxiety, or improve mood? In terms of flexibility, what yoga poses have been most effective for increasing mobility in areas like the hips, shoulders, or hamstrings?
 
oga has really helped me to control both stress and anxiety.
Yoga does amazing things for mental health. It only takes the physical movements, breath, and then the meditation to achieve that mental state. It's wonderful for calming the mind and soothing stress. What poses do you find to really make you feel good?
've never been able to touch my toes. I've always heard that yoga could stretch me out enough to be able to do that. I just don't know where to start and I don't have time to attend a class.
Don't be tense. You can start with simple yoga poses from home. You can do simple yoga poses that would stretch your hamstrings. You can find many resources to show you how through videos online preferably YouTube.
Ever since, I have made yoga a daily routine.
That's so awesome. I have also got to watch couple of videos on YouTube on yoga. It really helped to learn some new poses. Have you tried any specific yoga style that you are drawn to?
 
There is a yoga exercise called Sun Salutation. It consists of 12 yoga steps. This yoga exercise is a complete exercise for your body as well as brain. I don't do it regularly, though.

There is a lot that one can do by practising yoga 🧘‍♀️ and I am all in for it whenever that I have the opportunity. I've not done the Sun Salutation, but it seems like a nice one that I should work on doing.

I hate yoga. New studies have proved that yoga is very harmful for back. It literally has a bad effect on your spine and this is why I hate it. Many forms of yoga such as head standing posture can also lead to bad effects on brain.

Show us your proof.
If you ask me I can point you to many studies that have established the benefits of yoga.
