We've all heard it....the craze for yoga that has grown over the past few years, even though the exercise/practice has been around for thousands of years!

So why is yoga so popular?  

Here are a few reasons:

"Yoga is not a religion; it is a way of living whose 'aim is a "healthy" mind in a healthy body’."

"Man is a physical, mental and spiritual being; yoga helps promote a balanced development of all the three. Other forms of physical exercises, like aerobics, assure only physical well-being. They have little to do with the development of the spiritual or astral body." source


Yoga as a strategy to 'reduce stress/anxiety' also rated highly, with 59% of respondents giving it as a reason for beginning. This increased to 77% as a reason for continuing,  source

Jillian Michaels, a famous personal trainer on the TV reality series The Biggest Loser and creator of multiple workout programs/diet plans, gives us a 35 minute modified yoga routine to do in your own home.

Looks like fun!  Give it a try to relieve stress, exercise, increase your strength/flexibility and increase your health all in one!  (beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels offered in this video)
