- Do you slouch? Yoga can improve your balance and posture.
- Yoga can help you feel awake and focus.
- Yoga is a great way to feel more energized and less lethargic.
- Twenty minutes of yoga everyday can drastically improve your memory.
- Yoga can help with improving mood.
- Do you know how long people have been doing yoga? More than 5,000 years!
- Yoga is a system of exercises to improve not only your physical health, but your metal health. By practicing yoga, you can not only stretch, but realese tension in your body by holding different "asanas" (Aa-Suh-Na), or poses, and in your mind with "ujjayi" (U-JjA-Yi), or deep breathing.
- This type of breathing has two steps. First, inhale quietly through your nose, fill your lungs and exhale constricting your throat like you are fogging up a mirror.
