Detox with Yoga?



Hi friends, I want to blog a bit on how yoga can help detoxify your body. With our crazy world, Gmo foods, stress, unregulated and undisciplined lifestyles, the kind of food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink and our emotional pulls and pressures of life in general, can make certain hormones  secrete that have a tendency to leave behind toxins and can lead one down a very unhealthy road. Many folks have ways of detoxifying their bodies, w/herbs, supplements etc. But did you know that yoga can help detox your body and personally I think it helps to detox the mind so to speak. I can be feeling fairly crappy and then go do a yoga session and not only feel better, but my body tends to detox in a few ways almost immediately.,, I am not sure if that is the case for everyone. But for me Yoga does wonders with my body,mind, and spirit. Brings peace and literally peace of mind knowing that YOU just did yourself and your body a huge favor just with yoga. The accumulation of toxins in our body is, therefore, nearly impossible to escape from all of this junk.Yoga has a two pronged approach. In the long term it aims at developing attitudinal changes that prevent the build up of toxins through various practices and meditative techniques. However, Yoga has very practical purification practices that aim at the detoxification of the body and mind. These detoxification techniques are a sort of cleansing that help the body rid itself of toxins just like sweating is another way of detox...but my focus at this moment is the fact that yoga can help YOU detox your body & mind. Give Yoga a try a few times before you pass judgment.... this is coming from a former sceptic lol. I will attempt to post some easy yoga for anyone to try at home. Do these at your own pace DO NOT over do it. Hope this little tid bit was helpful. Truly,Dennis
