      SIMPLE TECHNIQUES TO BOOST YOUR WELLBEING

      Problem: today, yoga is often seen as a less strenuous form of exercise that involves adopting a series of poses, some of which are more difficult than others, or as a particularly popular meditation technique. However, yoga is above all a way of boosting your physical and mental wellbeing. This guide will help you to look beyond the clichés that have grown up around yoga, gain an understanding of the discipline’s underlying principles and, most importantly, learn a set of poses that you can safely practise yourself!

      Aims: to discover the central principles of yoga and learn some of the most basic poses, as well as the proper technique for practising them, in order to relieve stress, improve your wellbeing or even tone your physique.

      FAQs:

      Do I need to be physically fit before starting to practise yoga?

      Are there precautions I should take when practising yoga?

      How often can I practise yoga?

      What are the benefits of practising yoga on a regular basis?

      How do I know if I am performing a pose correctly?

      Can yoga improve muscle definition?

      Can yoga facilitate weight loss?

      No one is immune to minor ailments: headaches, moodiness, stress, insomnia, indigestion, backache and joint pain are just some of the everyday problems we all face. While it is no substitute for treatments prescribed by a qualified doctor, yoga can act in tandem with them to exponentially improve our wellbeing.

      Even though yoga has been very popular in the West for several decades, many people still think of it as a strange habit – and for good reason! It is a combination of
