International Yoga Day
International Yoga Day celebrates and spreads awareness about the positive effects it has on our mental and physical health. Yoga is a way to connect the body, mind and soul in a way that has existed for centuries.
Yoga is considered to be an ancient practice that originated 5,000 years ago in India. As the practice became popular in the west, it became popularised as an exercise and relaxation method, with claims to help the body’s general well-being, alleviate physical injuries and chronic pain.
WHY WE LOVE INTERNATIONAL YOGA DAY
It’s inclusive
People of all age groups, religions, nationalities, and social backgrounds can celebrate! There are more than a hundred different kinds of yoga practices, so it’s possible for anyone to start. Size and fitness levels do not matter — there are modifications for every yoga pose and beginner classes in every style.
Yoga helps you manage stress
Life can be stressful sometimes, and it can take its toll on our physical bodies. Have back or neck pain, sleeping problems and headaches? Regular yoga practice creates mental clarity, calmness, and relieves chronic stress.
Practicing yoga is healthy
This is no surprise, but it bears repeating. Yoga strengthens and stabilizes the spine, relieving back pain, stress, anxiety and tension. It helps with weight reduction, maintaining a balanced metabolism and increases flexibility.
