Yoga is an ancient practice that connects the body, our breathing and the mind. This practice incorporates physical postures, known as asanas, breathing exercises, and meditation. It’s designed to reduce stress levels, aid relaxation and improve general health.
During a yoga practice, the goal is to physically challenge ourselves, without feeling overwhelmed, as we focus on our breath and our mind accepts the challenge, while being calm.
