Yoga is ultra fashionable among models<\/a> at the moment, and with its wealth of associated benefits, it\u2019s easy to see why.<\/p>\n

But is it for you?<\/p>\n

Well, if the fact that top models Jessica P\u00e9rez and Angela Martini exercise this ancient practice isn\u2019t enough to convince you, then maybe our top ten reasons to give it a try will\u2026<\/p>\n

1. Mind and body: The breathing and meditation exercises taught in yoga act as natural tranquillisers, lowering blood pressure, heart rate and levels of cortisol (a ‘stress hormone’). It\u2019s a natural way to improve many stress-related conditions such as anxiety, insomnia, depression and even medical conditions such as migraine or asthma.<\/p>\n

2. Lung function: It encourages deeper, slower breathing – strengthening the lungs by putting good habits in place for those who practice it.<\/p>\n

3. Focus: By helping the process of disciplining the mind, yoga increases concentration, memory and focus.<\/p>\n

4. Pain relief: Some have reported reduced pain associated with PMS, neck and back problems, auto-immune diseases and many other conditions.<\/p>\n

5. Circulation: Various yoga poses are said to aid circulation and oxygenation of cells.<\/p>\n

6. Stamina: Yoga movements and poses improve strength. They are designed to impact on every muscle in the body and are also said to massage internal organs.<\/p>\n

7. Flexibility: Those who regularly practice yoga will notice their range of movement increasing, benefiting mobility and flexibility.<\/p>\n

8. Posture: By increasing self-awareness, core strength and good postural habits, yoga will help those who practise it regularly to hold themselves better and move with more grace and agility \u2013 perfect for models<\/a>.<\/p>\n

9. Anger management: By teaching those who suffer from anger-related issues more patience and tools to enhance calm, yoga can be beneficial as part of an anger management programme.<\/p>\n

10. Confidence: All of the ways that yoga improves someone’s life encourage self-confidence, self-belief and a more positive outlook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
