Many consider yoga as a method to stretch and tone the muscles and improve and expand the mind. “The physical benefits of yoga are very often underestimated," says Julie Rudiger, a therapist in Denver. According to her, practicing this activity has helped her to be stronger, more flexible, both physically and mentally.
Physical activities like Tai Chi, Yoga, and Pilates are called mind and body fitness methods because of the stress each gives on physical and mental strength. “The poses, or the movements in these activities, strengthen the body and improve the flexibility by teaching how to move the body and concentrate the thoughts”, says Kevin W. Chen, PhD, MPH, associate professor in the Center of Integrative Medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
