Yoga is on the rise of becoming the new it thing to do for modern people. Behind the cute lulu lemon stretchy pants, what exactly is this ancient practice and why is it the new craze?

Yoga is an art, a science, and a philosophy. It gives life purpose and balance, releasing stress and creating bliss. It is a practice that leads to a mindfully extravagant life while being socially conscience.

Sound too good to be true? Well this is why it works. People in todays world are always on the go trying to balance careers, education, love, cell phones and the list goes on. How often in a day do we give time to unwind and focus on our inward tranquility and to find the balance within. The asana, or physical, practice takes us through poses while connecting to our breathe, releasing all of the things we donʼt need while strengthening the body and spirit.

By connecting yoga practices with daily challenges, it helps tackle one of our
toughest issues: Taking care of our own personal selves. A way you can start your yoga journey is by doing 5 Sun Salutations a day at home. From here you can chose to continue your practice, or just leave it at that for the day. Try this for 30 days and notice how you feel. Don’t be surprised if you feel lighter, energized, and more motivated to cultivate peace and well being in your life. Love yourself, be yourself, treat yourself, be mindful of yourself. “Standing still is the fastest way of moving backwards in a rapidly changing world.” Live to be inspired. Namaste.
