Health Benefits of Yoga
Stress Relief
Yoga naturally lowers stress by combining mindful breathwork, gentle movement, and meditation. Studies show that reducing stress can lower blood pressure, improve sleep, relieve headaches, and support mental health by easing anxiety and depression.
Improved Strength, Flexibility, and Balance
With guidance from experienced instructors, you’ll stretch and strengthen nearly every muscle in your body. This not only enhances fitness but also improves coordination and balance, reducing the risk of injury.
Support for Heart Disease, Diabetes, and Obesity
Maureen, founder of The Moving Meditation, is a Certified Lifestyle Medicine Coach through Harvard Medical’s extension program The Six Pillars of Lifestyle Medicine with Dr. Beth Frates. Yoga has been shown to reduce inflammation, lower stress, and improve nerve communication. These benefits support overall health and help manage chronic conditions.
Weight Management - all stages with Lifestyle Medicine
By combining mindful movement with meditation, yoga can help address emotional eating patterns while improving overall fitness. This makes it a powerful tool for maintaining a healthy weight.
