🧘🏻♀️Yoga
Beneficial hobby for body and soul
Yoga is a practice that connects the body, breath, and mind. It uses physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation to improve overall health. Yoga was developed as a spiritual practice thousands of years ago. Today, most Westerners who do yoga do it for exercise or to reduce stress.
Most yoga classes last from 45 to 90 minutes. All styles of yoga include three basic components:
- Breathing. Focusing on your breathing is an important part of yoga. Your teacher may offer instruction on breathing exercises during the class.
- Poses. Yoga poses, or postures, are a series of movements that help boost strength, flexibility, and balance. They range in difficulty from lying flat on the floor to difficult balancing poses.
- Meditation. Yoga classes usually end with a short period of meditation. This quiets the mind and helps you relax.
Yoga is an approach to life that values appropriate effort, based on balance and harmony, within each person and with each other.
