Pro’s
- Practicing yoga can increase flexibility, cut down on stress, boost energy, and strengthen the body. It can also make you a more focused individual.
- The ability to practice yoga at home makes it more convenient, allowing people to schedule it into their lives more easily than a yoga class.
- The reduction of stress can be a very beneficial result of yoga.
- Yoga is becoming a very popular method of exercise.
Con’s
- Because yoga is such a unique style of exercise, many people will find that it does not work for them.
- It is more difficult to follow a video of taped instruction than to have a live instructor.
- Because there are no diet guidelines given, this is not really a weight loss program. Although yoga can tone and strengthen the body, without proper nutrition weight loss will be difficult to attain.
- While the online yoga community could make the program very convenient and flexible, it can also be more difficult for people to stick to. At home exercising routines take more determination and motivation on the part of the individual. Many people will find that taking a class gives them more results because of the motivation and support of others which cannot always be mimicked by a virtual community.
- In addition to paying for the program, some yoga props will be necessary, which will add to the cost of the program.
- Although the modifications are supposed to make the program work for any level, there will be some people who have difficulty following even the easiest poses as well as some more experienced practicers of yoga who may grow bored with the program because it is too simple.
Conclusion
Although people may find that the Gaiams Yoga Program strengthens their muscles and calms them down after a hard week of work, people hoping to lose weight while using this program may become discouraged. Without any attention to their dieting, exercise usually will not give the desired results of weight loss.
