Gentle nature yoga

It is a myth that at yoga you should be flexible when with the help of yoga, we are looking for flexibility in both rigid and flexible bodies. Originally, yoga was developed as a spiritual exercise in which we strive to quiet the mind and find a stronger connection with our true self. When we calm down, breathe and listen to our body while moving from one asana to another, our mind also begins to empty, as it were.

 

Come as you are, it's always about listening to your own body, and at the same time observing your own limits. The exercise can also be done on the beach pier while enjoying the sea air.
