Fly like a Bird - Aerial Yoga (Steemit Weekly Health Contest)

in #health6 years ago

I totally support the idea of this contest - thanks @healthsquared and @sweetsssj for bringing this opportunity and inspire us to stay healthy. The topic for this week is showing how we keep fit and active and I am pretty sure that a lot of people would mention the yoga as their exercises.

Unfortunately, I am not the exception: everyone knows the benefits of it. Also, there are so many different types of yoga and options, so it's easy to find your ideal style. But I want to share with you the type of yoga, which probably is not so popular here, but still really very enjoyable. It's a Fly Yoga (another name for it is aerial yoga)

To do this yoga, you need the special equipment - a hammock. It's not easy to find a good studio, but if you have it nearby and you are passionate about yoga - definitely you have to try this activity.

Aerial yoga could provide its own unique perks. As a regular yoga, it can help to improve flexibility, improve your blood pressure and cholesterol, even whittle your waist, also it's a total body workout so every single muscle in your body would be involved. The additional benefits of fly yoga are that it can lengthen your ligaments, and at least temporarily relax your muscles, heals back problems, help to your aids digestion and improve the balance.

Some doctors say that you may also notice temporary changes in your skin, such as an improvement in varicose veins, a subtle reduction in fine lines, and more color in your face.

The reason is that our body circulation system knows how to direct the flow of blood - it doesn't need gravity to help it do its job. When you're upright, oxygenated blood gets pumped to your entire body (including your brain), and deoxygenated blood returns to your heart. Hanging upside down sends more blood to your head, aerial yoga also helps detoxify the circulatory and lymphatic systems, which lowers the onset of various cardiovascular issues.

So for me, it's a perfect way to improve my flexibility, suffer from the back pain. Also, I read a couple article that it can give the additional boost to our immune system because of the gravity changes (not sure that it's 100% and truth, but the additional potential benefit never hurts).

But I highly recommend discussing with your family doctor your plans starting practice this type of yoga because some health conditions upside down poses might be dangerous and might have the side effects.

The last great benefit (and probably the most important one) is that fly yoga improves mood and relieves Stress.

So if it's a perfect way to keep fit and active and be happy, why should we avoid it?

Полёты во сне и на яву. :) Классно. Но улыбки на лице не видно :)

кстати! про улыбку это верно замечено =) буду исправлять ))

:) да да. :) Здесь всегда важна улыбка!

не только здесь - вообще, верю в то, что позитив и улыбка важны везде, даже когда немного хочется погрустить =)

Отлично! Нужно попробовать это на практике!!!

если есть возможность - очень рекомендую!
