Benefits of Yoga
Builds Muscle Strength
As a full-body practice, yoga makes muscles stronger, which in turn improves balance, stability, and longevity.
Increases Flexiblity
Yoga gently stretches muscles and fascia, which helps mobility and can aid in treating body aches, pains, and stiffness.
Boosts Joint Health
By strengthening stabilizing muscles and increasing flexibility, yoga is great for improving joint function and lessening discomfort over time.
Reduces Anxiety
Through the connection of breath and body, yoga has been shown to support mental health, create safety in the body and process challenging emotions.
Improves Sleep
With an improved mood, better focus, and an activated parasympathetic nervous system (“rest and digest”), you’ll sleep better after yoga!
Enhances Self Awareness
A main goal of yoga is to deepend your connection with self and ultimately with others and the world.
Our Differences Make The World Better
Small Word Yoga believes it is our diverse mix of voices that create compassionate, connected, and inspired communities. We strive to create a culture that allows everyone to fully and authentically be themselves, regardless of race, age, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or physical and mental ability. Our organization is committed to difficult conversations that push boundaries and the growth of a connected community built on inclusivity practices.
