2. Improved muscular strength and endurance: Engaging in more energetic yoga poses works all muscles in the body, building strength and endurance over time.
3. Improved posture: Practicing more energetic poses regularly helps to build core strength and improves overall posture.
4. Enhanced mind-body connection: With more vigorous yoga sequences, you can experience a heightened connection between body and mind as you move, breathe and focus your attention on each pose.
5. Improved cardiovascular health: Engaging in more energetic yoga helps to improve circulation and is a great form of low-impact cardiovascular exercise.
6. Increased strength and balance: By working your whole body with more energising poses, you can strengthen muscles, build balance and refine coordination.
