Yoga Time

One of our favorite ways to get exercise and relax is through yoga.  It is a wonderful workout for people of all ages and skill levels, and there are so many poses to keep you engaged and interested.   Yoga also has lots of health benefits that can help with all different types of ailments.  

1.  Yoga helps improve flexibility.  This can be great helping with posture, and also can help prevent injuries while playing other sports.  

2.  Yoga helps protect your spine.   Spinal disks need movement to stay well balanced a supple.  Yoga helps supply movement to these areas and keep the spine safe.

3.  Yoga increases blood flow.  Yoga can help with overall circulation through different poses by allowing more oxygen to flow to your cells.

4.  Yoga helps you focus.  We all know that when you get stressed out and wound up it can be hard to focus, but doing yoga for as little as 15 minutes can help improve focus.

5.  Yoga can help you sleep deeper.  Sleep is vital to our overall health, and getting proper exercise really helps your body relax which in turn can lead to more restorative sleep cycles.

Post Yoga Tea Time

One of our favorite ways to unwind after a great yoga session is with a cup of delicious tea!  At Our Green House we carry a wide variety of teas and you are sure to find the perfect one.  Whether you want something to help you kick start your day, or to help you mellow down at night, we have you covered.  And drinking tea after yoga is a really good way to stay hydrated and continue taking care of your body. 

Tea is a great coffee substitute because many teas have caffeine but they are a bit more mellow.  And for those who don't drink caffeine, then tea is the perfect morning and evening warm beverage.
