(No, you don’t have to be flexible to start!)

About a year ago, I found myself feeling lost and unfulfilled in life. My sister recently started meditating every day and encouraged me to do the same. I tried meditating, but could never reach a quiet, calm mind.

Then I bought a book about yoga.

This taught me how yoga physically trains your brain and body to calm down. Just as you would train a muscle, yoga trains your brain to prioritize peace and mindfulness. It creates a space of quietness in this fast-paced world. Creating more peace in your brain results in less stress. For many people, less stress inherently elevates mood.
