Discover the benefits of yoga

Yoga is a mind-body practice that brings great benefits to our physical, mental and spiritual health. Practicing it regularly helps us find balance, achieve calm and exercise the body. Discover the benefits of yoga and, if you haven't done it yet, encourage yourself to try it. Take note!

Since the State of Emergency was declared in Spain due to Covid-19, almost two months ago, many people have felt their emotions overwhelmed. It is logical to find ourselves on a roller coaster of feelings when we are going through a complicated and exceptional health, social and economic situation. Therefore, it is a good time to discover new activities that allow us to keep stress at bay and disconnect from a reality that can make us nervous and lead to anxiety.

You should know that it is not necessary to practice yoga in isolation. If you already do other sports activities, this discipline can serve as an ideal complement to enhance other aspects of training and, in addition, provide you with new sensations that you were not familiar with until now. Testing concentration, flexibility and mindfulness is a challenge and there is nothing more motivating than setting new goals.
