Recently we took a deeper look at why regular martial arts training can be a powerful tool in building confidence, self-esteem and emotional regulation, as well as physical health and fitness. To read more about our NDIS approved Karate Class, click here.
At My Healthy Mind, we also provide regular yoga and meditation classes that are suitable for participants of all levels. The benefits of Yoga and meditation for the participant can be profound, and these positive impacts can be felt both in and out of class.
Here, we look at the top 6 benefits of our Yoga and meditation classes.
1. Provides a Positive Routine
Like Karate, Yoga and meditation provide a structured routine, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Structured routine in a safe and calm environment has been shown to have positive effects for everyone who partakes.
2. Boosts your Mood and Mental Health
Yoga and meditation have long been shown to reduce anxiety and depression in those that practise regularly. Over time, meditation provides space for objective reflection over our thoughts and emotions. This in turn can help build greater emotional regulation and responses, as well as improved overall mood!
3. Improves your physical fitness in a modern world
Yoga provides a huge array of positive health benefits, from improved muscle strength, greater flexibility, as well as better posture and balance. In so many ways, the physical benefits of this ancient discipline are more applicable today than ever. Modern life means we all sit too much, and Yoga is the perfect discipline to counter the negative effects this has. At My Healthy Mind, we recognise the influence that our physical health has on our mental health, and our yoga classes are a great way to ensure that our members stay in their best shape.
4. Reduced conflict.
Whether it’s in schools, workplaces, or even prisons, meditation is consistently shown to reduce conflict in groups when it is introduced. The Mindfulness Meditation that we practise during our Yoga and meditation classes focuses on fostering cooperation and compassion—instead of opposition.
5. Reduce Stress
Like many people, many of our members have busy and demanding family lives. Yoga has been shown to be a fantastic outlet for stress that can build up in the body. When complemented with meditation, yoga leads to improved rest and relaxation, and reduced stress hormones in the body!
6. Increase your focus and attention.
People who meditate regularly show improved focus and attention. Our meditation and yoga classes provide a space and opportunity for members to switch off, free from the distractions of technology and the outside world.
This is just a snapshot of the benefits. In fact, the long-term positives of regular Yoga and meditation are almost endless.
