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!
