Yoga for Wellness
Yoga for students has been shown to reduce stress, help with clarity of thought and improves memory. Restorative Yoga helps the practitioner to find mental and physical balance. It is helpful for preventing and helping recovery from physical and mental illness. Restorative yoga is suited to beginners and those wanting a deeply restful practice. If you have any health concerns, please check with your doctor before beginning any exercise program.
