Have you ever thought about trying yoga but aren't sure if it's for you? We all have excuses of why we shouldn't try it or how inflexible we are. There are so many benefits as to why you should practice yoga.

1). Practicing yoga helps to create flexibility.

     Yoga can help release tightness, which would help bring a greater range of motion.

2). Yoga can help to build strength in your body as all poses are your own body weight.

3). Yoga helps you to improve balance. Standing on one leg or practicing a headstand - helps to build core strength and stability.

4). Yoga teaches you how to breathe.

5). Yoga helps to build self-confidence.

6). Teaches you to be present.

7). Yoga helps to reduce stress, anxiety and depression.

8). Protects our body from injury.

9). Helps to recognize self-acceptance.

10). Overall, helps to relax your whole body. Connecting mind, body and spirit.

I encourage you to start where you are and you'll be surprised where your yoga journey leads you.

Namaste.
