What is Yoga
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.
There are many types of yoga, but most involve:
– Stretching and moving your body (like exercise)
– Breathing deeply and slowly (to calm your mind)
– Focusing your mind and being present (like meditation)
That’s yoga in simple words!

Basic Yoga Poses
Mountain Pose (Tadasana)
Tadasana is a basic standing pose that helps improve posture and balance. In this pose, the body is kept straight, which strengthens the spine and increases body awareness. It is the foundation for many other standing yoga poses.

Pranayama is the practice of controlled breathing that helps improve lung capacity, increase energy, and calm the mind. Techniques such as Bhastrika, Anulom Vilom, Kapalbhati, and Bhramari are simple yet powerful practices that reduce stress, enhance focus, and support overall physical and mental well-being.
