Staying emotionally and physically healthy during this stay at home self-quarantine is not an easy task. Incorporating a movement routine into your day is extremely important for your mental health as well as your physical health. The top benefits are as follows:
- Promotes healthy respiration. Yoga is a practice based on focused and deep breathing. This is especially important in the current battle against COVID-19.
- Decreases stress and anxiety. This is critical as most people are currently feeling anxious and are in fear.
- Science supports that a weekly yoga practice fights depression symptoms.
- Improves quality of sleep.
- Promotes cardiovascular health.
- Boosts metabolism and helps with weight control.
You can achieve all of the above benefits in the comfort of your own home, all you need is a little floor space! Several links to yoga studios offering free classes are below:
