No. Yoga is not a religion, let’s start from there.
To understand just how significant yoga is in our daily living, we should begin by demystifying the common notion that yoga is an activity, only open to a particular clique.
It is just a means to connect the body, mind and breath. Beyond the physicality involved, yoga focuses on the unique capacity to harmonise your entire being, leading to a healthy, limber body and calm mind.
With an invigorated mind and body, it is then easy to be energised and focused.
