Health Benefits of Yoga
From insomnia and hot flashes to the fear of flying and smoking habits — yoga has helped our viewers improve their health! Relieving Hot Flashes 
Dell, who is going through menopause, says when she wakes up in the middle of the night, the bridge pose helps her cool down.
Rodney says the bridge pose (demonstrated above) creates a calming, cooling effect for the nervous system by raising the pelvis above the head, creating openness to the heart and the lungs, while keeping the head close to the chest. Building Firefighters' Stamina "Our crew started practicing yoga a year ago. Now we have more stamina and strength, which allow us to perform better physically. We are much calmer in emergency situations and more centered as a team. Our work related injuries have decreased as well as our blood pressures." — El Monte Firefighters of Los Altos Hills, CA Curing Insomnia "After my twin boys were born, I never slept more than three hours a day. Yoga gave me instant relief and helped me focus on myself. Now I get seven blissful hours of sleep." — Kandice Hemsley Conquering the Fear of Flying "Just thinking about taking a trip stressed me out. I always suffered from motion sickness. Now I use the breathing techniques I learned from yoga and all my fears fly away." — Liz Summers Kicking the Smoking Habit "I used to chain smoke like a fiend. When I began yoga classes I became more mindful of each breath I took. I turned my whole life around — I went from New York City party girl to New York City Marathon runner." — Maria DiBenedetto
