Yoga is a way of finding peace. It encompasses philosophy, physical movement, breath awareness, mindfulness and relaxation. With practice you do become more flexible, and gain strength, but your practice can also alleviate pain, balance mood, create resilience and help you to sleep. So, are you are thinking about starting yoga, or coming back to your practice after a break? And if so, what is stopping you? When you step on to your yoga mat you will be meeting yourself exactly as you are, and learning to do so with acceptance. You might not be as fit as you would like to be, you might be carrying extra weight, you might not be particularly clean living, and it doesn’t matter. Don’t delay the beginning of the journey. Just start.
