Beach Yogabenefits of beach yogaStudies
show that exercising on an unstable surface, like decking, a surfboard
or sand, strengthens the secondary muscles of feet, hips, knees and
shoulder joints. An unstable surface forces the body to do small
adjustments in order to maintain the perfect posture. This means using
more muscles that we don't normally use in our legs, feet, core and
arms. Balancing poses are more challenging, but also more fun! Plus,
exercising in a sunny environment, especially near water, helps
relieving stress, tension, anger and depression, as well as boosting
enjoyment, satisfaction and energy. Ten to twenty minutes of stretching
activity are enough to improve our well-being. Adding in a little aroma
therapy to help settle your mind will promote inner peace and ultimately
happiness. Even if you cannot get to the beach - don't fear! You can
bring the beach to you with the refreshing scent of our Coastal Cottage
collection. |
