Top 3 Reasons to Practice Yoga (A Longtime Teacher’s Perspective)

Regular yoga practice can open and clear the channels of your inner body, healing and maintaining the cardiovascular system. This supports bloodflow and joint health as well as nerves and connective tissues.

Yoga also improves mobility, protecting the joints, irrigating the crevices of the body and lengthening the muscles, connective tissue and fascia to increase range of motion.
