About this Event
Yoga postures and breathwork stimulate relaxation hormones in your body. Known as pranayama, breathing techniques form an important part of every yoga session.
Yoga helps you focus on the present moment. When you pay attention to each one of your breaths, you become aware of every passing second. You can stop worrying about the future, and stop regretting the past. You also gain psychological strength and resilience.
Yoga uses breathing and meditation in harmony with postures. This makes yoga so holistic. It's your whole being. Every movement and every pose reflects confidence and grace thanks to your breath.
