Yoga helps those suffering from insomnia, scientific studies have shown that 20 minutes of yoga a day can improve our sleep. The relaxation generated by Yoga and its techniques allows us to fall asleep much faster. It helps you manage your emotions and with a constant practice of Yoga one becomes more and more aware of "oneself". We then learn to look at emotions with the so-called "yogic detachment". As well as the ability to observe and accept them without being overwhelmed.
Too often we suffer from the events and people around us. Thanks to the awareness that is acquired through yoga, it is possible to observe these phenomena with the right emotional distance. It, therefore, becomes easier to make clearer decisions and less conditioned by our emotions. So more about an action rather than a re-action. With our new sense of self and clearer mind we build our confidence and self-esteem, so you can see the benefits from a consistent yoga practice.
