We all know exercise is good for our health, but not everyone realizes the "hidden" benefits of such practice. Practicing yoga influences far more than our muscle tone and flexibility. Honoring these internal changes that occur through regular practice can only benefit our growth further.

Notice your personal growth in these areas:
    Increased Self-awareness
    Increased Self-control
    Increased Self-acceptance
    Longer Attention Span
    Better Memory 
    Positive Outlook
    Decreased Hostility (road rage, anyone?)

Another big moment can happen, whether the intention was there or not. Often, old, negative emotions that have built up will begin to release. This can result in sudden self-realizations that may be painful, or even tears while doing your down-doggie. While the initial releasing of this energy may bring you down for a moment, you'll feel brand new through further practice. This is the true benefit of yoga practice- a fully cleansed house for your soul to reside.
