Over the last few months, more of us have started to realise how important it is to maintain our health and wellbeing. When you are busy at work and trying to find the time to exercise regularly, and catch up with friends, it can become too easy to neglect our mental health. However, your physical and mental health are more related than you might think, so it is crucial that you look after both.
There are many different ways that you can look after your mental and physical health, and here at FORM, yoga is one of our favourites. Yoga has increased in popularity in recent years, and is a mindful form of exercise that many of us use to engage in physical activity, while also helping to clear our minds.
Yoga has become increasingly popular in our very own city of Manchester, with more classes popping all the time. So we have put together everything you need to know about yoga, the benefits it can offer you, as well as where you can find the best yoga classes in Manchester city centre that you can enjoy.
Benefits of Yoga
Everyone here at FORM takes your health and wellbeing seriously and we don’t underestimate the importance of looking after your mental health. Life has been pretty hectic recently, and therefore we recommend that you take the time out of your day to reap the benefits of yoga.
While yoga was once considered an ancient form of exercise that originated in India around 5,000 years ago. But its benefits have made it popular in modern society, with yoga being a common activity found in schools, hospitals, and health centres all around the world. And of course, at RESET by FORM.
Yoga offers both physical and mental health benefits, which is why we love it so much. While it is great at improving your strength, balance, and mobility, no matter how old you are, it can also help to decrease stress levels.
Yoga is a great way to improve how you move your body, while improving your range of movement, and increase your flexibility. It has also been found to have great remedial benefits for those who suffer from anxiety. We know how debilitating anxiety and depression can be not only on how you feel, but also on your day to day life. Therefore, by regularly engaging in a mindful activity, such as yoga, you can learn how to cope with your anxious feelings by finding a sense of peace.
Research has also found that yoga can help to reduce stress. We know all about how stressful life can get, so you will be glad to know that yoga classes can help. This is because yoga can help to decrease levels of cortisol. Cortisol is the stress hormone which influences our levels of serotonin, and is also associated with depression. This means that by attending a yoga class you can decrease any symptoms of stress or depression that you are suffering from.

In the hectic city of Manchester, yoga has become increasingly popular. With both individuals and workplaces recognising that it is a great way to engage in physical activity, look after your mental health, while also having fun with friends. Due to this, yoga classes are popping up all over the city, providing you with the perfect opportunity to find your inner tranquility. Pilates in Manchester has also become popular, with some people including both low intensity sports into their weekly routine.
Whether you are a yoga pro, or are new to the yoga scene, Manchester has a range of classes available, from beginner levels, to the more developed yoga poses.
