The word is out that yoga is good for you. And not just physiologically. New studies on yoga are now showing the beneficial effects yoga can have on stress, emotions, and even the way our brains function. While many researchers have barely grazed the bulk of the benefits that yoga provides, the positive characteristics this exercise brings to day-to-day living is undeniable. In fact, today’s science is only now proving through their research what sages and the earliest known yogis already discovered  -over 5,000 years ago!- through their  pure act of doing and being aware.

Zen Vibe Yoga, along with help from our handy Yoga Journal, put together a list of what we believe to be the top 5 benefits of yoga. By giving an insight into how beneficial yoga really, we hope to give those still hesitant to step onto the mat that last push and reason to give it a go!
