One of the best things about yoga, in my opinion, is the fact that it's an exercise built around stretches. Research shows that stretching improves the following: flexibility; range of motion; circulation; pain and relaxation. (LIVESTRONG Benefits of Stretching) I love to stretch!
Stretching is not always comfortable. Actually, if I am not in class on a daily basis, stretching is sometimes painful, but the pain is tolerable because I know that it's good for me.
