Stress can be very damaging to the body and mind.  It can cause physical and emotional symptoms.

Many studies have found that doing yoga in the morning and evening can minimize stress and increase productiveness.  Yoga empowers us to findhappiness, mindfulness and self-compassion. 

Many stress relief techniques include controlled breathing, meditation, physical movements and mental imagery.  There are many positive effects of yoga.  It can reduce anxiety and help with sleeping.  It can also improve many medical conditions such as high blood pressure.

Physically, yoga can help you with reducing muscle tension while increasing flexibility.  Yoga can also be used as a spiritual tool to improve your well-being.

The purpose of yoga is to see your mind and body as one.  There are many ways you can use yoga in your daily life, such as breathing techniques to calm and focus yourself.  Meditation is another big part of the yoga practice because it teaches you how to connect with yourself and the universe.  It also teaches you to be mindful while loving yourself and those around you.

Yoga has always been a big part of my daily life because it keeps me focused on my purpose and passion while keeping me in a spiritual balance.
