  2. Benefits of Yoga Stretches Yoga exercises help you improve your flexibility, muscle strength, and balance. Yoga also offers physical and mental health benefits for people of all ages. Here are some of the benefits of yoga stretches: • Yoga helps ease back pain and improves mobility in people with lower back pain issues. • According to Johns Hopkins’s recent studies, yoga helps to ease the discomfort of tender and swollen joints for people with arthritis.[2] • Another study indicates that yoga helps lower blood pressure, blood cholesterol, and blood glucose levels. That leads to lower blood levels of markers for inflammation which reduces the chances of heart disease.[3] • Yoga helps in stress management, mental health, mindfulness, healthy eating habits, and quality sleep.

  4. How to Maintain Proper Form using a Yoga Strap? Here are some tips for proper form and alignment when using a yoga strap: Start with a comfortable length Make sure to adjust the strap to a comfortable length before beginning your stretch. It’s better to start with a longer strap and gradually shorten it as you become more flexible. Use the strap as an extension of your arms When using the strap, think of it as an extension of your arms rather than a separate entity. This will help you maintain proper form and alignment. : Bench Press info@aqfsports.co.uk www.aqfsports.co.uk

  5. Avoid jerky movements When using the strap, avoid jerky movements or sudden pulling. Instead, move slowly and gently pull the strap steadily to avoid injury. Breathe deeply Deep breathing helps relax the muscles and allows for a deeper stretch. Inhale deeply as you prepare for the stretch, and exhale as you deepen it. Keep your spine straight When using the strap, keep your spine straight and avoid rounding your back. This will help you maintain proper alignment and prevent injury. info@aqfsports.co.uk www.aqfsports.co.uk

  6. Don’t force the stretch It’s important to listen to your body and not force the stretch beyond your comfort level. As you become more flexible, you can gradually increase the length and intensity of your stretches. Relax your shoulders When using the strap, relax your shoulders and avoid tensing them up. This will help you maintain proper alignment and prevent strain in the neck and shoulders. info@aqfsports.co.uk www.aqfsports.co.uk
