Yog Yoga With Mindfulness

It also offers other health benefits such as rejuvenating the body by keeping bones, muscles, joints, organs and nerves healthy, flexible and supple. Just as in mindful sitting, mindful yoga brings awareness to your breath, thoughts, and emotions as you practice, but it also adds focus on your movement and posture so you will need to wear comfortable clothing that will not restrict your movements. You will also need to make sure you have enough space to do the movements, and might prefer a yoga mat or a carpeted floor.

A Word of Caution: Everyone’s body is different and some of us may not be as flexible as others. It is better to start your practice slowly and build than to possibly hurt yourself.
