Pregnancy is one of the most cherished times in a woman’s life. And it can also be one of the most challenging times as the body and mind go through a complete transformation. Along with the baby’s birth, a mother is born too! The physical and emotional health of the mother has a huge impact on the growth of the fetus. Stress, weakness, emotional instability in the mother, affects the physical and mental development of the fetus.
Asanas and Pranayama develop deep awareness of the physiological and psychological changes, improve flexibility and strength, build abilities to manage the discomforts and suitably adjust to the changing biological environment Asanas create flexibility in the pelvic floor and the surrounding areas and build strength to adjust and face the challenges of labor and delivery. Pressures are removed and the body is light and healthy. Optimum space is created in and around the uterus for the fetus to grow well. The cervical and vaginal wall become elastic and the pubic bone becomes supple leading to normal easy delivery. Morning sickness, nausea, back pain, fatigue, thyroid problem, water retention, blood pressure, gestational diabetes and sleeplessness are healed.

Benefits of practicing prenatal yoga-
Children deal with many distractions, temptations, overstimulation and peer pressure and live in a world of busy parents, school pressures, incessant lessons, video games, and media influence. We usually don't think of these influences as stressful for our kids, but often they are, which damages their overall development.
Nowadays there are lots of issues with children like aggressive behavior, eating disorders, obesity, juvenile diabetes, vision problems, ADHD, ADD, dyslexia, low response rate, hyperactive, lack of immunity, breathing troubles, etc….the list goes on. The major reasons being, lack of physical activity, wrong diet (more junk foods), increased screen time, loneliness etc.

Teenage is not easy. Body image issues, low confidence, and constant pressure clouds the kids and bring their morale down. They must be trained to overcome these problems and take on tougher challenges. Teenage is a time when there is a rapid growth spurt, and yoga only makes it better and easier by making the teen’s body strong and flexible.
Teenage yoga is an excellent way to help your child deal with the overwhelming emotional and physical changes that they go through during adolescence. Teenagers who practice yoga are less stressed and perform better than their counterparts in academics.
Yoga will not only help the kids develop a good posture, overcome eating disorders, but also help them focus better and keep random thoughts at bay. Above all, yoga will empower the self-detesting teenagers to love themselves more and teaching them that beauty is inside out can encourage them to believe in themselves.
Aside from the physical benefits of yoga, yoga teaches teens techniques for coping with the unique issues they're faced with everyday—insecurity about their changing bodies, the enormous pressure to fit in, stressful schedules, and uncertainty about their beliefs and their futures.
Researchers of Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics found at the end of their ten week study, that high school students who participated in the yoga sessions during PT class scored better on psychological tests screening for anxiety, depression, and mood imbalances than the teens that did not. The teens who participated in yoga reported fewer negative emotions than those who didn’t participate in yoga during the ten week study.
Adolescence age is an ideal time to begin the practice of yoga. It will not only help to develop a healthy and regular menstrual cycle for girls but will also help to deal with psychological changes generally.
It has been proven time and again that yoga helps reduce stress, rejuvenate their senses through relaxation and enable smooth transition into adulthood. Following are the physical, emotional, social, psychological…. benefits of yoga for teens.
By practicing present moment living, they will have a better sense of their emotions. Yoga will enable them to connect with their deeper layers and understand more fully what they are feeling. By developing a better understanding of their emotions, teens can then more appropriately process them. Emotional intelligence is a very powerful thing to learn at an early age.
Emotional intelligence is a very powerful thing to learn at an early age.
By understanding that each and every single person is one, perhaps teens will learn to accept one another more fully, no matter their color, social interests or status.
Yoga is non-judgmental, and the more we practice, the more acceptance and less judgement we’ll have in our daily lives. Yoga will help teenagers become more compassionate for one another. Yoga flaunts a happiness quotient among teens.

Modern day living is fast-paced; we are always doing, achieving, and pushing ourselves to be bigger and better. For a woman’s body, this is incredibly stressful and creates various imbalances which affect our sleep, weight, digestion, libido, menstrual cycle, ability to cope, to get pregnant, and menopause.
Middle age for a woman comes with complexities. Yoga plays the role of a healer for a new set of physical changes in women. During the menopausal phase helps to balance hormones keep weight under control, avoid medical complications and maintain healthy digestive system.
A woman’s body is unique, for it is associated with transitions of puberty, the fertile years, menopause and post menopause. Through yoga a woman can maintain a balanced and harmonious reproductive system and may lead to greater vitality and radiant wellness. A yoga practice has the potential to support positive transformation through these natural cycles.
Science has shown yoga to be beneficial in its ability to increase mind-body awareness, promote physical movement, and cultivate acceptance of one’s internal experience of emotions, thoughts, and sensations. Women, relative to men, are at risk for experiencing reproductive-related health issues during the childbearing years due to normal physiological hormonal transitions that are associated with the reproductive lifecycle, namely menstruation, pregnancy and the postpartum period, and also generally for women over 50 due to menopause.
Yoga asanas are vital to women’s health. It gives women physical and emotional balance and teaches self acceptance. It helps them get better body awareness and encourages appreciation for all that our body does for us. It removes negativity and enables self-love. In yoga we use our own body resistance to build our muscle strength, flexibility, stamina and endurance.
Women of reproductive age can experience monthly fluctuations in emotional and physical symptoms that are associated with the cyclical rhythm of their menstrual cycle.
The majority of women experience some negative emotional, physical, or relational symptoms in the days prior to menses, with symptoms ranging on a continuum from mild to severe and debilitating. Emotional symptoms include mood labiality and irritability, while physical symptoms include fatigue, bloating, and breast tenderness. Exercises for women such as a regular yoga practice can address these symptoms by helping to calm the central nervous system through stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system (relaxation response), which facilitates decreased stress and tension in the body and cultivates deep relaxation. Further, the practice of asanas with an emphasis on linking breath with movement can work to increase the flow of oxygenated blood to the reproductive organs and tissues, working to alleviate discomfort associated with cramps, and increase circulation in the body to minimize the storage of fluids that causes bloating.
The benefits of yoga for women who are pregnant and post delivery are manifold. Research has shown yoga to decrease the perception of pain during labor, reduce physical discomfort during pregnancy and labor, significantly reduce stress and sleep disturbance, as well as improve overall quality of life.
Approximately 13% of women experience a major depressive episode during and after pregnancy period. Research has documented poor outcomes associated with depression, such as higher rates of preeclampsia, spontaneous abortion, and complications during pregnancy and labor. Prenatal yoga has been associated with reduced depression and anxiety, and has been shown to support women with high-risk pregnancies by reducing the potential for pregnancy-induced hypertension or preeclampsia. The transition to motherhood can have a significant impact in the areas of work and relationships. Further, postnatal women often experience weight gain coupled with decreased physical activity following childbirth, with weight gain an important factor contributing to poor emotional health during this time. A regular postnatal yoga practice may affect change in these areas by helping to cultivate and support vitality, energy, weight loss and social functioning. Moreover, the physical aspect of yoga can counteract inactivity and agitation associated with depression and anxiety.
Menopause is defined as the cessation of ovarian function and marks the completion of a woman’s reproductive phase. The transition to menopause, called the premenopausal period, usually occurs in women between the ages of 45 and 55 and generally takes several years to unfold.
During perimenopause, fluctuating estrogen and progesterone levels manifest in uncomfortable psychological, somatic, and vasomotor symptoms. The most common menopausal symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, pain, decreased libido, and mood swings, with most symptoms persisting for several years post menopause. While not all women experience all of these symptoms, over half will likely experience mild symptoms. Premenopausal women need to turn to yoga to reduce the unwanted side effects of menopausal symptoms. While a yoga practice cannot directly effect estrogen production, restorative postures in particular can help to calm the nervous system by way of turning down the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight response) and supporting activation of the parasympathetic nervous system (relaxation response), as well as to improve functioning of the endocrine system, which can support the body in adapting to hormonal fluctuations.

Stress at work due to work overload and connecting with many different personalities at the work place puts a lot of mental and physical strain on the working women. Their muscles tighten up and they need a release.
By the time a woman reaches 35 years, time typically begins to take a toll on the woman’s body, and especially on those women who did not do their best to take care of themselves very well through exercising and eating right in their younger years.

“WHEN YOU EDUCATE A MAN, MAN ALONE IS EDUCATED. WHEN YOU EDUCATE A WOMAN, A GENERATION IS EDUCATED”
Not only women, but men also have their own set of problems. Guys have problems too, be it social problems, psychological, physical, or biological. A lack of awareness, weak health education, and unhealthy work and personal lifestyles has caused a steady deterioration of the well-being of men. Wrong Diet and improper lifestyle are the major components of diseases.
Men, now more than ever, are taking a much larger role in helping with household decision making and child rearing. Their responsibilities are changing with more add-ons like meeting the work pressure, targets, presentations, budgets, rivalry, EMI’s, bills, spending quality time with family, pick up and dropping of children, etc, etc, which are more demanding.
Our modern way of life is less physically active than ever before. For many people work is very sedentary. It is done at a desk, with the assistance of telephone and email for communication. Recreation has also become increasingly sedentary. Since the advent of television and video games, many people now take their recreation sitting in front of these screens. Transport is also less active. Lack of physical activity is associated with a wide range of diseases and other health problems
Men reap many benefits from practicing yoga. Yoga for men increases flexibility, establishes mindfulness, and enhances athletic performance.
Yoga builds strength in the cardiovascular system and raises the heart rate, lungs will become stronger and the ability to breathe deeply and fully will improve – which provides more oxygen in the body and improves the endurance overall.
Many yoga poses are held for a series of breaths which allow the muscles to lengthen and strengthen simultaneously. Yoga also practices many different breathing techniques that do more than build strength in our lungs. The deep abdominal breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system which lowers the levels of cortisol – a hormone that makes our body hold belly fat. When we practice deep breathing, effectively reduce stress and cortisol levels in the body – something everyone can benefit from.
Yoga keeps your body fit, flexible and strong. Generally men are not flexible. The poses are powerful and specifically designed to open and strengthen the body efficiently. Yoga will make men more flexible, light and in many ways stronger than any other exercise – without straining the body! With patience and steady practice, one will become more open than, ever imagined. The right combination of strength and mobility is the key, to tone and strengthen muscles or just to age gracefully. The muscles at the back that have been deteriorating from the constant desk job will be taken care.
Much of the workplace benefits can also be tied to yoga’s effect on stress. But the effects of that can be much further reaching, too.
In fact, yoga’s positive effects have been shown on a cellular level when it comes to reducing stress. A study published in the journal Immunology found that those who did yoga suppressed the activation of certain genes that cause inflammation, a common response to stress that can lead to some serious health implications.
On top of that, yoga has been found to increase your body's ability to respond to stress more effectively, by reducing heart rate, blood pressure, and easing respiration in stressful situations that typically increase these responses.
Yoga will help improve diet, sleep and overall health. Once you're feeling the physical benefits of your yoga regimen, you naturally begin to shift your diet and sleeping patterns. During yoga, you will notice your mind is so focused on what you're doing that it is impossible to think about your job, bills or anything else. You find yourself fully in the moment, and that complete focus puts your mind at ease. Afterward, you will feel grounded and relaxed. The combination of your body and mind feeling fantastic is a recipe for practical, healthy lifestyle changes.
Yoga allows you to do the things you love more efficiently and for longer. The whole point of yoga is to live your life to the fullest. Whether you love to run, play, travel or play with your kids – yoga will help you do the things you love, better and longer. When you feel great, you are able to truly savor life.
Add in some yoga to your routine and you might just do a better job at work, too. It increases the mental resilience, the researchers say, which helps them deal with stress. And that’s especially true for people in high-powered positions who may be more vulnerable to burnout.
What’s more, a 2013 study of 367 workers from the Netherlands found that a six-month intervention including both a yoga workout and a general workout per week led to greater feelings of workplace vitality—feeling higher levels of perseverance and resilience, and lower levels of fatigue.
Yoga is the fountain of youth. Between all the physical, mental and overall health benefits, yoga will make you feel better and younger than you could have ever imagined and live more vibrantly. This only happens after you commit to a regular yoga routine. Anything worth doing will take patience and time.
Whether you struggle with insomnia or simply can't fall asleep easily at night, yoga may be the remedy you've been missing. The simple physical and mental exertion required in yoga caused by the stretching and relaxing of muscles helps to sleep better. Breathing practices in yoga helps to improve the strength of the respiratory muscles, which helps in conditions like snoring or sleep apnea.
Yoga alleviates pain and injury. Most men suffer with injuries and pain, particularly in the back, knees and joints. Yoga uses controlled movements, expert alignment, biomechanics and breath to open your body efficiently while minimizing the risk of injury. Safety and alignment are the absolute first priorities in yoga with individual capability. Yoga will help take the health to a whole new level.
