Yoga is a form of exercise and mindfulness that can provide many health benefits for both the mind and body. Not only does it allow for an increase in flexibility and strength, but it also gives opportunity for reflection and relaxation. If these are factors that you would enjoy incorporating into your lifestyle and physical activity, yoga may be for you!
