The practice of yoga is more than 5,000 years old, and it's more popular now than ever. People from all walks of life are discovering the physical, mental and spiritual benefits of stretching their muscles and breathing deeply.
Even five minutes of simple stretching can make a difference in your health. Moving muscles slowly will relax and loosen them, allowing better blood and lymph flow to restore the body and renew energy. Lymph fluid is filled with white blood cells that go to areas of the body that need repair. Because the lymph doesn't have a dynamic pump behind it, like the heart for blood, we can assist the flow through deep breathing and stretching.
