Yoga is…
• A practice that anyone can do,
regardless of their age, spirituality, or
physical condition.
• A technique that combines physical
activity with mindfulness/meditation.
Yoga
Helps us practice being fully present in our
actions, making our actions more powerful
In this way, Yoga is similar to
practices of martial art
Yoga
Also helps us learn to release stress
and patterns of tension in our body,
so that we can feel more relaxed
and at ease in ourselves.
Yoga
With enough practice…
you will be able to relax at will, focus,
and be at ease with yourself
…even when you’re not at a yoga class!
Yoga
This skill will help you feel good about
yourself and feel balanced, even when
storms pass through your life
