As for the biochemical benefits of yoga, we can enumerate substantial decreases of glucose, sodium, cholesterol, and total white blood cells; and remarkable increases of vitamin C, total serum protein, hemoglobin.Furthermore, various studies revealed that yoga exercises are extremely effective when it comes to increasing the level of joint flexibility, together with the level of lubrication of joints, ligaments and tendons. Another interesting aspect has to do with the fact that yoga is one of the very few techniques, which contributes to 'massaging' all the internal organs and glands - including the ones that are hardly ever stimulated during the lifetime of a person, such as the prostate. The stimulation and massaging of the internal organs proves to be beneficial when it comes to preventing diseases.Moreover, these ancient and efficient techniques facilitate a detoxification of your body. When stretching the muscles and performing a thorough 'organ massage', the nature of the yoga exercises encourages the flow of blood. As a consequence, metabolic by-products and environmental agents are eliminated from your body and certain undesired processes, such as aging, are delayed.As a final remark, all the benefits presented above come in addition to the most important aspect provided by yoga practices, meaning that the harmony and synchronization between body and mind grows. And there develops a growing feeling of inner peace.

Thanks
