By helping you focus on your breath and movements, it lowers the volume of the endless chatter in your brain during your practice and also helps increase <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/yoga-may-improve-focus-ability-to-remember-new-things\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">focus and attention<\/a> throughout the remainder of your day.<\/p>\n<p>While these things are incredibly beneficial, scientists have recently proven that the mental benefits of yoga go beyond what was originally believed. According to\u00a0studies reviewed by Harvard Medical School, practicing yoga helps reduce the symptoms associated with major mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).<\/p>\n<p>How?<\/p>\n<p>The scientists discovered that a consistent practice of yoga helps <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3160832\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reduce the quantity of cortisol<\/a> \u2013 a hormone linked to stress and depression \u2013 in the body.

According to this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artofliving.org\/yoga\/yoga-benefits\/yoga-and-spirituality\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">anecdotal evidence<\/a>, yoga&#8217;s spiritual benefits are tied to the way it makes people feel a &#8220;happier life &#8216;in the moment'&#8221; while also allowing them to feel more connected to others.<\/p>\n<p>In this respect, communal practice is said to have the biggest spiritual benefits for yogis. It allows people to exchange energy in a shared space, teaching them how to build our awareness of others and themselves, generally allowing them to feel part of a greater whole.<\/p>\n<h2>Start A Yoga Practice<\/h2>\n<p>The great thing about yoga is that you can start your practice at any time!<\/p>\n<p>Not sure how?
