The benefits of yoga and mindfulness are far reaching. More than improving flexibility and strength, yoga and mindfulness impact the social, emotional, mental and physical health of everyone who practices. So give it a try. Get on your mat, take a deep breath, and take advantage of the many benefits of yoga and mindfulness.
I’m often asked how to start an at home yoga practice or how to incorporate yoga into busy schedules. Since I generally enjoy my personal practice in the early hours of the day and am always looking for great instructors to learn from I’ve become very familiar with what is offered online. Here are some of the online yoga sites I use. Remember that nothing can substitute for practicing under the watchful eye and guidance of a qualified yoga instructor. Please practice wisely and take care of yourself: heart, body and mind.
