Show Notes

On today's show, we are talking about yoga with Daisy Thayer!  According to the National Institutes of Health, there is scientific evidence that shows that yoga supports stress management, mental health, mindfulness, healthy eating, weight loss and quality of sleep.

Yoga provides a retreat from our busy and chaotic lives, while providing many mental and physical benefits. Yoga develops inner awareness. It helps us to focus our attention on our body's abilities at the present moment, while also helping us to develop our breath and strength of mind and body. Surveys have shown that people who practice yoga are more aware of their bodies than those who don't practice yoga. People also tend to be more satisfied with and less critical of their bodies, promoting more positive body image and self esteem.

Join us as we talk about the power of yoga with Daisy!
