Yoga

On Friday's session we took part in a two hour yoga session. This is the first time I had done yoga; I discovered that although I did not think I was particular 'good' at it, it did help to relax me and I thoroughly enjoyed the session. Before I had taken part in this yoga session, I had previously thought that yoga was mainly designed for stretching muscles and hence would be uncomfortable and not particularly enjoyable. However, the woman leading the session stated that there is no point pushing yourself into positions that are uncomfortable. This was well received! I believe this could help improve a persons health as it allowed time to relax whilst also using your body - a better option than sitting in front of the television. Stress is known to have a cumulative negative effect on a persons health, so taking time out to 'de-stress' should be an integral part of a healthy lifestyle.
