the corporate jungle everyday leaves you stressed and crying out loud for the
weekend to come. With hundreds of things running through your mind regarding

A vacation might help in driving away stress and

anxiety that city life brings then you should definitely try out Yoga.
Yoga has been continuously gaining popularity as a
mind and body exercise and an alternative and preventive medicine for some.
With series of postures and controlled breathing exercise, it's no wonder how
people are finding yoga as a very effective means of stress management and
relaxation.
“There are a lot of benefits that yoga can bring to
people if only they realize the great help it can give them,” says Tesa
Celdran, a rogue certified instructor or Ashtanga Yoga in Bliss Yoga Manila.
“Yoga taps into the art of breathing, meditation and movement that will help in
stress reduction, strength building, increasing fitness, toning and shaping the
body, and even alleviating body pain and illnesses.”
Since 2007, Celdran has dedicated her life to the
practice of yoga as the positive effects of the practice manifested in her life
one by one. Reducing stress may be one of the major reasons why people try out
Yoga but better understanding of the practice led them to a whole new lifestyle
that lets them enjoy life with a better outlook and healthier body.
There are different kinds of Yoga that can cater to
your specific needs. If you want to have a more positive and better
relationship with your body Vinyasa Flow Yoga is definitely for you.
Build strength and improve the circulation of your body as you calm your mind

“I found that the practice of yoga helps me in
improving my flexibility and balance as well as finding stillness of the mind.
There are a lot of things going on outside and with yoga, I was able to
dedicate a time and place for me to tune my mind and try to be at the center of
it all,” shares Atticus King, a businessman who incorporates yoga with his
other physical training such as gymnastics and weights training.
With multitude of benefits yoga can offer, practicing
it will definitely be a better choice for anyone who wants to cope with daily
life hassles. “Surely, people will not just be able to be in harmony with their
body, making them more resilient to what life brings them but also feel good
