Why You Should Try Woga
Staying fit and healthy is important and there are a wide range of different regimes out there nowadays. If you’ve never heard of woga it’s simply yoga that is performed in the water and it’s ideal if you are someone who wants a low impact exercise to improve their health.
It’s also perfect if you own a hot tub!
It’s an exercise that began about 10 years ago in the USA and has recently started to prove popular in the UK. Get together with the spa community in your local area and you’ll hear plenty about woga and its benefits.
Here we take a quick look at a few of them.
1. It’s Great at the End of the Day
Yoga essentially works on the spine, joints and improves the breathing. It’s an exercise that is great for overall health and improving suppleness. If you have an injury or don’t want to do aerobic or traditional strengthening exercises, it’s the perfect way to introducing something that helps boost wellbeing without building up a sweat.
If you’ve had a hard day at the office or just been out for a run, woga is good for improving circulation and relaxing the muscles. The water resistance in your hot tub gives you the chance to put gentle pressure with subtle movements. The support you get means that you are unlikely to cause any major injury because you are overstressing your body.
2. Woga Improves Mobility
One of the key reasons to do an exercise like woga is that it’s great for mobility. It’s an exercise that is often taken up by people with joint or muscle problems or general lack of joint movement. It’s relatively easy to move with the help of the water.
This is also an ideal exercise for someone who has weight problems or is little older and doesn’t want anything too strenuous.
3. It’s Relaxing
If you want to destress yourself and relax, there’s no better thing to do that climb into a nice warm hot tub and let you worries wash away. Combining this with a bit of gentle movement through woga it’s just what you need after a busy week at work. You can even put the water jets on and give yourself a massage at the same time.
You can combine woga with meditation to help slow down your heartbeat and relax your muscles. Put in a few breathing exercises and you have the perfect low impact regime.
4. Anyone Can Do Woga
The other great thing is that anyone can do woga. It doesn’t matter how young or how old you are, everyone is able to get involved. The exercise can be tailored to your needs and will leave you feeling refreshed and ready for what the world has to throw at you.
