The mental benefits that yoga provides includes:
Improved sleep
Reduced stress
Body awareness
Improved state of mind
On a spiritual level, yoga aims to help you achieve a complete state
of being. Advanced yogis can develop inner strength that gives
them complete control over their emotions and desires. On the
inside, it enables them to resist temptations and worldly pleasures.
If you reach an advanced level, you may also be able to learn to
increase your self-esteem by practicing yoga. Removed from the
worries of the world, yogis can experience the truth better and start
to value themselves more.

The second type of meditation technique is Qigong. This method
helps improve posture and allows you to relax with ease. It is one
of the oldest forms of meditation practiced by the Chinese.
