Today marks the Winter Solstice and International Yoga Day!
The theme for this year's International Yoga Day is 'Yoga for Healthy Aging'
"By combining gentle movement, stretching, breathing exercises, and mindfulness, yoga can help improve balance, flexibility, strength, and mobility, while also supporting mental well-being and stress management. Because yoga can be adapted to different fitness levels and health conditions, it offers an accessible way for many older adults to maintain their physical and emotional health."
I find it interesting that the photo they've used to support this article is of a younger woman, in a pose that's not accessible for many people! π€¦ββοΈ
Yoga is an ancient physical, mental and spiritual practice that originated in India. International Yoga Day aims to raise awareness worldwide of the many benefits of practicing yoga.
