Anyone who practises or has been practising Yoga for a good amount of time will vouch for the near-infinite benefits of Yoga. If you want to genuinely increase your concentration powers manifold and discover hidden capabilities of the human mind then embarking on a lifelong journey with Yoga is the way to go.
Since time immemorial Yoga has been revered
by the scholars and the mathematicians, by the fighters and the warriors &
in ancient times Yoga used to be a regular part and parcel of everyone’s lives.
Ancient civilizations in India had many schools of Yoga which they used for
different purposes and to develop different skill sets.
Let’s take a look at how doing Yoga
regularly can help improve memory power.
Yoga has been proven to increase the size
of your brain LITERALLY! The structure of the human brain has a
folds-and-wrinkles architecture and these folds are meant to increase the
surface area of the brain. These wrinkles and folds house the neurons of the
brain which are responsible for quick thinking, analyzing data and increased
concentration.
A ton of research and tests have been
conducted to test the effect of Yoga and meditation on the human brain. MRI reports of old-time practitioners of Yoga
have shown vast differences from that of a non-practitioner with as much as 20%
or more gyrification.
Not only this but practising Yoga in the form of Hath Yoga or Vinyasa flow yoga regularly releases all the happy hormones in the brain and works to uplift your mood without you realising it. The secretion of chemicals like endorphins, serotonin, oxytocin and dopamine work miraculously to help you feel calm and at ease with yourself and can also be responsible for treating stress and anxiety – which is, of course, a long term treatment.
