Practicing yoga will help you gain control of your health and be in control of your own life. Bringing awareness to the breath is the first step to gaining control of your body. Meditation allows the mind to sit still so we may focus on what’s most important. The physical practice will lengthen the muscles to take away stagnant energy and tension in the body. Savasana, the resting pose at the end is as important as the rest of the pieces to the practice, because it brings balance to the nervous system and rest’s the body from the physical challenges. This practice I have to say, is my favorite exercise of all because it’s like medicine, it takes away all the stress in my body and allows me to focus on my daily activities. It also connects me with my highest intellect which allows for smarter decision making.
