Young children are natural yogis. Our very first asana or (pose) is the fetal position in the womb. Little ones roll, arch, and touch their toes with laughter and abandon. As we grow older life happens and as responsibilities increase we play less and stress more. Yoga brings us back to a simpler time when we lived in the moment and simply touching our toes brought joy.
The benefits accredited to yoga are many:
- increased flexibility
- increased strength
- weight loss
- lower blood pressure
- increased balance
- alleviated depression
- reduced anxiety
- improved sleep
Just to name a few…
