What Is Yoga?
More than a physical workout, yoga is a full mind and body exercise.
Before yoga was a popular physical exercise, it was, for thousands of
years, mainly a meditation practice. Breathing techniques are an essential
part of yoga — not only do they help you to stay focused while practicing
yoga, they can also help reduce stress and relax the nervous system and
calm the mind. Yoga breathing techniques also offer a “ way into
meditation”.

Beginning a Yoga Practice
If you want to reap the full benefits of yoga, it’s important to find a way to make it a regular part of your routine. The most important thing to remember when starting a yoga practice (or any new health habit) is that the key to success is doing it routinely. Start small and manageable, 10 or 15 minutes a day of yoga may be more valuable than going to one class a week.
