Alamayah Consciousness: Benefits of Yoga
An ancient practice, yoga is a transformative and empowering mind, body and spiritual exercise. The benefits of yoga are abundant and are a key element to the Alamayah way of life and how we begin each morning. So why choose yoga?
YOGA IS FOR EVERYONE
Yoga is beneficial to all generations and fitness levels. From young teens, athletes, middle-aged moms, older gentlemen, to fitness buffs and bodybuilders, yoga is a practice that welcomes everyone and does not discriminate.
YOGA PROMOTES PHYSICAL STRENGTH
From muscular strength, flexibility to core stability, regular practice of yoga allows the body to restore, build and thrive simultaneously. Yoga postures are built to strengthen the core muscles around the spine which are designed to alleviate and eliminate neck, back and shoulder issues.
With the right instruction and careful focus on the correct practice, each yoga posture can benefit the body’s internal functions including lymphatic draining, regulation of adrenal glands, respiration, metabolic rate, cardiovascular and circulation.
YOGA HELPS MENTAL & EMOTIONAL STABILITY
The emotional, mental and spiritual benefits of yoga are intertwined with overall health. The mind-body connection, the ability to be present and mindful of one’s energy, emotions and physicality are the foundations of yoga practice.
The more often mindfulness is practiced, the easier it is to break free of destructive emotions. Studies suggest that negative emotions like anger and hostility are as strongly linked to heart attacks as are smoking, diabetes, and elevated cholesterol. The intention of yoga is to heal and increase feelings of compassion and interconnection, by calming the nervous system and the mind.
Yoga is a fundamental part of our daily routine at Alamayah. Participating in sunrise and sunset yoga on our stunning rooftop, we feel feel is the perfect way to start or end our day. We offer every guest a spot on our yoga mats where they can rest, restore and restart.
