Protection From Injury

Yoga is a powerful injury prevention tool because it concentrates on flexibility, body balance, ability to maintain body position and awareness of the body. This is how:

Enhancement of Flexibility: Regular yoga makes muscles longer and joints more flexible thereby reducing the possibility of sprains and strains. Body that is flexible enough can easily absorb stress thus lessening the chances of getting injured.
Building Strength and Stability: Yoga consists of holding postures where different muscle groups are strengthened. In turn, strong muscles help stabilize joints hence protecting them from repetitive strain injuries as a result of overusing or sudden movements.
Improving Balancing And Coordinating Abilities Of The Body: Many yoga poses put your balancing skills to test while also making you coordinate various activities with much ease. When balance is enhanced, falls which might lead to accidents can be prevented. A person with good coordination moves better and safer.
Developing Body Awareness: Yoga helps one learn to listen to their body’s messages better allowing them know when they’ve crossed their limits too far or when their posture is incorrect so as not to go on like that leading into an accident since one can modify accordingly without causing harm on oneself

Encouraging Proper Alignment: Proper alignment of yoga positions means that the muscles and joints are working properly. The body’s strain can be reduced through proper positioning in this manner, which would help avoid injuries caused by poor body posture or such other things as bad posture.
