Poses

Yoga incorporates a variety of poses, or postures, into each workout. Poses use various positions and movements that increase flexibility and strength. Yoga poses range in difficulty from simple to complex.

For example, you might lie down on the floor in a relaxing position or move into a difficult pose that stretches your body to its physical limits.

Meditation includes mindfulness and relaxation techniques. It helps you focus your thoughts, be more aware of your mind, body, and spirit, and release feelings of stress and anxiety.
