Yoga helps to improve respiration and increase energy levels, resulting in greater vitality. Deep, conscious breathing practiced in yoga helps to increase oxygen flow, allowing the body and mind to relax and open up to a new level of energy and vitality. Other benefits of yoga include improved strength, balance and flexibility.
