There is more to having strong
muscles than looking good. They help against back pain and arthritis, help
elderly people against fall and injuries. Through Yoga, you are able to balance
strength with flexibility. If you lift weight at the gym, what you get is
strength and not flexibility. Yoga is the way to get both combined.
The weight of your head is
quite significant. When held up straight over an erect spine, you require less
work and energy to coordinate it as you move around. When you tilt it to an
angle however, you start to feel strain in your muscles. Doing this for a long
time (about 12 hours) wears you out before you know it. Apart from the fatigue
you’ll normally have, other problems such as poor posture, neck, back and
muscle problems may be noticed. Whenever you slump, the normal inward curve in
your neck is flattened in compensation, and this may result in degenerative
arthritis of the spine.
