The essence of yoga
Yoga harmonizes body and mind. It's an activity that works the body while clearing the head. This discipline has been practiced for centuries in Asian countries such as India. In the West, the number of enthusiasts grows every year. It can be practised in the gym or in the middle of nature.
Yoga has many advantages. Firstly, the sequence of postures tones the body. The practice makes you more flexible, especially in the back and legs. The movements between each posture are slow, so that each posture is perfectly exercised to reap its benefits.
Yoga is also renowned for helping us to manage our emotions more effectively and reconnect with the different sensations in our bodies.
