There are so many forms of exercising in which many citizens practice daily, but yoga is often overlooked by many. Over 5,000 years ago, yoga was created for spiritual development practices to enhance one’s self awareness and to train the body. Yoga has evolved into many things since its origin, but has kept the base of centering and grounding one’s mind and self awareness. Not only is yoga a great resource to strengthen the mind, but it also is a great source of activity to improve strength, flexibility, and balance. Both the physical and mental sides of yoga have been proven beneficial if done often, however not many people know about the true benefits of yoga and therefore don’t practice it. The simplest poses or breathing exercises can make the biggest difference, and that is why yoga is so unique, yet praised and practiced worldwide.
