Any yoga lover remembers her first class—shaky legs, awkward attempts at poses, nervous glances around to see if anyone else is struggling, too.

Yoga Teaches Self-Discipline
Excelling at yoga requires a physical and mental commitment to get on your mat regularly. The philosophy of yoga mindfulness behind each physical poses encourages you to improve your skills gradually through daily work. You don’t burn yourself out by working 24/7 or competing with others; instead, you focus on yourself and make conscious and responsible choices.
Yoga Reduces Stress
Yoga techniques and poses have a positive impact on the nervous system. Meditation, steady breathing, and restful poses such as Shavasana (“corpse pose”), which often end yoga classes, help slow the heart and relax the muscles. When the nervous system slows down, you have the benefit to feel calmer and more emotionally stable.
At least you don’t have any stress in your life, right?
