Yoga benefits both the body and mind, calming the nervous system and reducing stress. Focusing on our breathing and the movements of our body allows us to relax and free the mind through meditation. This all helps to lower our blood pressure and help to control our heart rate, thus benefiting both physical and mental wellbeing.
