Everything You Need to Know About Water Yoga and More

June 13, 2018 By Goodall Staff - s.h.

Apart from being a fun activity for the whole family, a swimming pool or spa is a great place to get some exercise! One of the most beneficial workouts that you should take advantage of is water yoga.

Interested? You should be! Read on to learn more.

What is Water Yoga?

Essentially, water yoga works by performing yoga poses in your swimming pool or spa to get a low-impact, full-body workout that helps to improve your strength, balance and range of motion. If you choose to do yoga positions that submerge your head underwater, then you’ll also be able to strengthen your lungs as you hold your breath.

What are the Benefits?

While a traditional yoga workout can provide many health benefits, stepping into your pool or spa while you get your yoga on can truly boost your entire session! But just to give you an idea, here are a few of the major benefits of water yoga:

Calms the Body and Mind

By focusing solely on your body’s movements and breathing, you can achieve a deep sense of relaxation and inner peace.

Eases Stress and Anxiety

Water yoga exercises, especially if performed in warmer water, trigger the natural release of your body’s happy hormone, endorphins, which help to melt away the stress of the day – leaving you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated!

Strengthens Your Body

Incorporating water yoga as part of your regular exercise routine can help to strengthen and tone your muscles, improve range of motion, boost endurance, enhance your immune system and even improve cardiovascular function.

Alleviates Aches and Pains

Especially true for warm water yoga, the low-impact exercises combined with the natural buoyancy of the water can help to relieve tight muscles and joints, while also helping to increase your flexibility by stretching out sore muscle groups. The warm water can also help to increase blood circulation and reduce inflammation in your joints and muscles.

Improves Overall Health

The whole-body relaxation and calmness gained from regular water yoga workouts can help to improve sleep patterns, boost energy levels, encourage detoxification, and promote a healthy well-being.

Water Yoga Poses to Try

Now that you’ve learned all about water yoga and the benefits that come with it, it’s time to dive in and try it out for yourself! Depending on your experience level, we’ve put together three yoga poses for beginners, intermediates, and advanced yogis to get you started.

Beginner:

  • Tree Pose
  • Warrior I
  • Heart Lifting

Intermediate:

  • Warrior II
  • Extended Triangle Pose
  • Crescent Pose

Advanced:

  • Warrior III
  • Lord of the Dance Pose
  • Eagle Pose

Which yoga poses will you add to your routine?
