We are often faced with the challenges and demands of everyday life: work, school, family, household chores, etc. The most difficult challenge of all is navigating yourself through these demands with a calm mind and giving each component the full attention it needs.
Yoga can be a great tool for working through these challenges.
Yoga is often used for its physical benefits of enhancing flexibility and strength. What you may not know is that yoga was originally developed to promote mind-body awareness in a completely relaxed state. It connects your mind, body and breathing to create total body awareness and release the tensions of everyday life.
In addition to reducing stress and relieving tension, here are a few other benefits of incorporating yoga into your weekly routine:
- Improves posture
- Builds physical and mental awareness
- Quiets the mind
- Results in a deeper sleep
- Reduces anxiety levels
This month, try out our on-demand Center Your Mind yoga session. Focus on relieving tension and connecting your mind to your body one breath at a time.
