YOGA


Yoga? Sounds familiar. Yes, yoga is for an exercise that connects our body, mind and soul into one. Practicing yoga gives numerous benefits, such as toned body, reducing stress, peaceful mind, strengthening muscles and the list goes on and on....

After about 9 months I practice pilates, I had decided to give yoga a try. I didn't want to try out yoga previously as I didn't want to confuse myself for different breathing techniques. Well, it works for me. Not only I got a calmer mind, I managed to toned up my body as well. Faster than I ever imagined. Sooner or later, I would gave up weights training which focussed on muscles isolation, which trained more towards the big muscles such as chest and biceps, but neglect our core muscles and small muscles deep attached to our bones.

Yoga and pilates focus more on body cordination, and most of the post are meant for the whole body, so we never miss out any part of our body workout.

Ok, ok.. Less words and more pics. Here you are some of posts in yoga:
