Yoga Retreat in Phuket, Thailand

There are many physical and mental health benefits associated with practicing Yoga. Specifically it is widely recognized for its ability to:

• Increase strength and flexibility
• Improve balance and posture
• Improve mindfulness and mental clarity
• Improve heart health by reducing stress, lowering blood pressure and slowing the heart rate
• Elevate mood and enhance concentration
• Manage chronic health conditions like insomnia, depression, low back pain and arthritis
• Improves metabolism to aid weightloss

In addition to all this, practicing Fitness Yoga will make your heart rate increase when activity is done in the heat, which creates increased cardiovascular activity and quite simply will allow you to burn more calories quicker! Additionally, the heat increases metabolism levels and speeds up the breakdown of glucose and fatty acids. This all helps in toning your body and losing weight. The result? Your body will increase its ability to burn fat and increase its metabolism.

And if this is not enough, practicing yoga in a heated room stimulates the lymphatic system responsible for flushing out toxins from your system. This rids your body of harmful substances and makes it healthier. The hot and humid room makes your body sweat, which promotes detoxification and elimination through the skin, the body’s largest organ. Your capillaries will dilate in the heat oxygenating the tissues, muscles, glands, and organs and helping in the removal of waste products.
