What Yoga Can Do For You
 Yoga is well known for improving flexibility, blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol levels, strength, immune system functioning, pain relief for chronic conditions including carpal tunnel and back pain, and peace of mind. It's also often recognized for promoting better sleep and for its cardiovascular and aerobic conditioning benefits.
Did you know that yoga also improves memory and raises IQ scores?
Regularly practicing yoga even increases your happiness, scientific studies have shown. |

Yoga for Lawyers
Lawyers are discovering that practicing yoga makes them better lawyers.
Yoga promotes qualities needed for successful legal practice, including intelligence, ability to recognize and consider multiple possibilities and points of view, memory, persistence and tenacity, analytical skills, clarity of mind, ability to work well under pressure, dedication, focus, attention to detail, self-motivation, time management, high energy, and effective responses to stress.
An article from The American Lawyer says that yoga practice results in "a formidable trifecta: a lawyer who is physically well-tuned, mentally attuned and karmically in tune."
"I'm much more productive, and I can say with certainty that I function at a much higher level as a result of it [practicing yoga]."

A Closing Thought
"Our minds are not the only way we can understand. Our bodies create a different type of understanding when we are willing to truly experience.
"Getting out of the mind and into the body is not just a way to de-stress; it is also a way to understand who we are. And perhaps that is the greatest wisdom."
