About seven years ago, I fell in love with yoga — and have been feeling the benefits ever since. It's a centuries-old tradition that connects the mind, body, and spirit for a deep, stretching workout that leaves you feeling centered and calm. There's also research that has shown yoga to be directly linked to weight loss. What's not to love?
I often hear people say they're intimidated by yoga or afraid that they're not flexible enough. The truth is, yoga is less about bending your body into a pretzel than it is about holding your body in controlled placements, or poses. You can find a variety of these poses in online. Start with a few beginner poses, such as the Cobra Stretch, and concentrate on holding them for a few moments while breathing deeply. Once you're used to yoga, your body will really start to look and feel different.
Remember, flexibility can (and should!) be developed with practice, and yoga is the perfect way to get started!
