Yoga changed me internally and helped to ease my stress and worries, which has made me a better person. With regular practice, yoga develops a strong, flexible and toned body. It can reduce stress, maintain your blood pressure levels, keep your metabolism balanced and help you to maintain a healthy weight. At the same time, it also helps to increase your energy and vitality.
