WHY YOGA IS GOOD FOR YOU

Antonia de Luca November 1, 2017

The origins of yoga date back more than 5 000 years, so no wonder it’s associated with longevity. Unlike other exercise programmes, yoga is about much more than weight loss or getting toned – it gives your mind and body a complete workout. Stretches and strengthening poses are combined with breathing and relaxation techniques.
