If you aren’t, you should be! Whether you are a desk jockey, weekend warrior or seasoned athlete, yoga should be part of your weekly or for that matter, daily exercise routine. Yoga is a practice that cultivates a mind-body connection, increases physical awareness, and improves your ability to be mindful and present. 
Dating back 5000 years, yoga has a vast number of benefits, here are a few:
1. Improves flexibility, strength, balance, and endurance.
2. Creates an emotional boost that could help with depression.
3. Improves chronic back pain.
4. Increases your capacity for exercise, improves your heart health, and enhances your overall quality of life.
5. Improves sleep.
6. Improves mental clarity.
How much yoga do you need to do to see the benefit? Well, just like any other exercise program, the more you do the more benefits you will see. Yoga is no different. Practicing as little as 10 minutes a day a couple times a week helps. However, practicing for 30-45 minutes three to four times per week is ideal.
So, if you currently aren’t practicing, start slow. Find a beginning yoga class to take. Or better yet, go to Beachbody on Demand and start either the 3 Week Yoga Retreat or find a workout you like in our Yoga Studio. Practicing at home makes it easy to fit into your busy schedule.
