Yoga is a practice that has been around for centuries. The tradition began in India, where practitioners use it to connect deeper to themselves and the world around them. Yoga is a series of postures that aim to enhance health and offers practitioners a “moving meditation.” In the past few decades, yoga has made a powerful debut in the United States. Chances are, you have either tried traditional or chair yoga or know someone who swears by it.
