Stress. Something we all have experienced, and something we have all had to deal with. For me most stress stems from school and tends to take a toll on my body. When I had first heard that yoga could help with this sort of stress I was actually pretty skeptical. My mind was tense and my body was stiff and achy, so how could breathing and simple stretching relax my body and mind? I was just about at my wit's end and, not knowing what else to do, I decided to try it out. To my surprise, it was a wonderful, de-stressing experience. Every since then, I try to implement yoga frequently in my life. I'd like to show a few moves that I really enjoy to hopefully help you de-stress, as well!
