Ex6. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of
the questions.
HEALTH BENEFITS OF YOGA
Yoga is a healthy lifestyle. One of the benefits of yoga is that you can choose a yoga
style that is suitable for your lifestyle, such as hot yoga, power yoga, relaxation yoga,
etc. If you are a yoga beginner, Hatha Yoga, which focuses on basic postures at a
comfortable pace, would be great for you. If you want to increase strength through
using more of your own body’s resistance, Power Yoga may be right for you. Whether
you prefer you're at home, in a private session, watching a DVD or at a studio or gym,
there are a huge variety of options available to suit your goals and needs.
Improved flexibility is one of the first and most obvious benefits of yoga. During your
first class, you probably won’t be able to touch your toes. But if you stick with it, you’ll
notice a gradual loosening, and eventually, seemingly impossible poses will become
possible. Each of the yoga poses is built to reinforce the muscles around the spine,
the very center of your body, which is the core from which everything else operates.
When the core is working properly, posture is improved, thus alleviating back,
shoulder, and neck pain.
Strong muscles do more than look good. They also protect us from conditions like
arthritis and back pain, and help prevent falls in elderly people. And when you build
strength through yoga, you balance it with flexibility. If you just went to the gym and
lifted weights, you might build strength at the expense of flexibility.
Yoga gets your blood flowing. More specifically, the relaxation exercises you learn in
yoga can help your circulation, especially in your hands and feet. Yoga also gets more
oxygen to your cells, which function better as a result. Twisting poses are thought to
wring out venous blood from internal organs and allow oxygenated blood to flow in
once the twist is released.
Many studies found that a consistent yoga practice improved depression and led to
greater levels of happiness and better immune function.

2. According to yoga’s principles, the spine is of great importance because _____ .
A. when the spine is working properly, postures will become possible
B. seemingly impossible poses will become possible
C. it is the center of your body, from which other muscles operate
D. we can avoid back, shoulder, and neck pain
3. In order to build strong muscles, ________.
A. We can’t build strength with high expenses at the gym B. we don’t pay any
attention to our appearance
C. we should reinforce the muscles around the spine D. we can have strength with
flexibility through yoga.
