Virtual Events – Yoga

09 Mar Virtual Events – Yoga

It’s no secret that since the pandemic started, almost a year ago, isolation has been a constant factor of our daily lives.

This has eroded many of the things that normally protect our mental health – from social connectedness to financial security and hope for the future.

With all that extra pressure, it is no surprise that more and more people have turned to online Yoga practice to find relief from stress and promote wellbeing.

The importance of Yoga practice has grown to the point of being incorporated to the wellness section of the United Nations website.

So how exactly can yoga practice help you?
Contrary to what most people might think, yoga isn’t just a workout that promotes flexibility. Yoga can be a journey of self-discovery that brings us an infinite amount of benefits on the way, all while centering the practitioner into a sense of calm.

How does it do that?
Every single yoga posture has a holistic approach with a deeper purpose: regulating the functions of our body systems so we can create a state of inner balance between our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual body.

That means the practice can be designed to help improve basically any ailments.
