How does yoga help to reduce stress?
Movements are slow, low impact, and over time increase in intensity. They facilitate a calm mind as our focus will be on the breath, the present moment, and creating awareness of the body. Acceptance of the body’s limitations and limitations encountered in life is a value that we teach. We help individuals let go of what they cannot change which may correspond to their body or their life outside of their yoga practice. Simply choosing to accept and not judge the self can release a lot of stress.
