Health & Wellness
| Information According to results of a 2008 survey conducted by the Harris Interactive Service Bureau on behalf of Yoga Journal, 15.8 million Americans, or 6.9 percent of U.S. adults, are believed to practice yoga. Yoga has been proven to reduce stress and anxiety; accordingly, it is often recommended to relieve the pain and anxiety of chronic conditions. Yoga is thousands of years old. Stone carvings in the Indus Valley depicting yoga positions date back 5,000-plus years. During your practice, focus on your breathing as well as the positions and stretching of the yogic postures. Breathing is as important a part of yoga as the stretching. |
