The healing and health benefits of yoga are long studied. Anyone who's ever attended a class knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that if everyone participated in the practice, we'd have more peace in the world.

 

But for anyone who may not know, yoga improves strength, balance, and flexibility. It detoxifies and reduces inflammation in the body easing pain and tension. Yoga will help your body deal with stress and stored emotions and trauma. It improves mood and promotes a positive outlook on life. And finally, and maybe most importantly, it connects you to a tribe of like-minded people.
