# Yoga
You've probably heard that #yoga is good for you. Maybe you have even tried it and discovered that it makes you feel better. Regular practice can offer all kinds of mental and physical health benefits. Some, like improved #flexibility and #strength are evident. Others, including #mentalclarity and #stressreduction, maybe more subtle but are just as powerful. During the time of #covid19 it's important to practice #meditation and #pranayama. When put together, all the benefits below contribute to an increased feeling of #well-being, which helps explain why so many people find yoga so #addictive.
- I have been practising yoga for 16 years now and find it amazing.
- If you haven't tried still u must try it.
- It's made for all ages and gender.
