Yoga
Yoga combines stretching, exercise, and meditation. There are fabulous health benefits associated with yoga. According to the Huffington Post, "A recent Norwegian study found that yoga practice results in changes in gene expression that boost immunity at a cellular level." This study reveals that yoga improves your immune system. According to the same article, yoga also increases sleep quality, decreases the severity and frequency of migraine headaches, and decreases food cravings. The American Osteopathic Association recommends yoga because they found that it: increased flexibility, increased muscle strength and tone, improved respiration, increased energy and vitality, improved the maintenance of a balanced metabolism, increased weight reduction, improved cardio and circulatory health, improved athletic performance, and increased protection from injury.
If you would like to include yoga in your daily (or weekly) life, and you do not already have a studio, here are two low commitment options:
-Nintendo Wii Fit has a yoga program - if you already own a Wii Fit, you can just try out the yoga for free.
-Yogasteya Online Yoga Studio - Unlimited classes available online, some pre-recorded ans some life via skype. Try the first month for $4.95, six months for $47.00. (She offers a risk free money back guarantee.)
