Yoga, as supported by numerous scientific researches of today, is an excellent discipline to practice in order to cultivate one's own mental and physical well-being , thanks to the performance of activities that include body movements and breathing exercises, aimed at relaxation and meditation, something a little different from traditional Yoga.
The discipline of Yoga initially spread to India many centuries ago: the word Yoga derives from the Sanskrit term " yuj ", which means "to unite ". It is in fact through this intimate union with ourselves that our Yoga session will be a good method of relaxation and distance from unpleasant sensations such as anger, anxiety, but also depression and tiredness.
Therefore, cutting out a moment of the day to get to know oneself better becomes the first great lesson of this path. With respect to the dawn of this discipline, tradition has evolved over time, and today many of the main exercises are codified.
The practical alternative for those who do not have time to attend a normal lesson has been found by some programmers who, thanks to the collaboration with experts in the discipline, have managed to emulate an experience similar to that lived in a canonical Yoga lesson ; the only difference is that you can follow it comfortably through your smartphone or tablet! If you work from home or your days do not allow you to find time for yourself and you are accumulating stress, it is time to change your routine.
Here is a list of the best apps designed to offer this service.
