The ancient physical, mental, and spiritual practice of Yogabroriginating from India provides many benefits that can help us lead a healthybrlife with the best version of ourselves. Yoga comes from the Sanskrit root Yuj,brmeaning to yoke the body, mind, and spirit. The translation is commonlybrinterpreted to symbolize the union of the body and consciousness. Around thebrworld yoga continues to grow and rise to popularity through various forms.

brbr

Established in 2015, the International Day of Yoga aims tobrraise awareness for the many benefits of the holistic practice. “Yogabrbenefits the mind by cultivating harmony and peace,” shares Gretchen Weber, co-brfounder of Crossroads Yoga. “Yoga is a great activity for you if you havebrdiabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease. Yoga alsobrgives you strength, flexibility and mind body awareness. Yoga can also helpbryour spiritual health by increasing your energy, reducing stress, fatigue andbrhelping you sleep better all which contribute to a happier life.”

brbr

The theme for International Yoga Day 2019 is ClimatebrAction. “Yoga definitely strengthens resilience and adaptive capacitybrto change of climate or the change that occurs naturally in day to day living,”brGretchen continues.
