More Than a Stretch: Yoga, Mindfulness, & Balance

Yoga can look a lot of different ways. Slow and relaxing. Fast and intense. A workout. A reset. But at its core, it’s about being present and connecting your mind and body. In this episode, we break down what yoga really is, where it comes from, and why it’s more than just stretching. We get into the different types of yoga, the benefits for both your physical and mental health, and the reasons why so many people avoid it in the first place.
