Yoga
If you are willing to have a balance for your body, mind and soul, yoga might be a
good option for you. It also teaches us to become fully-aware of our own being,
making us realise when to slow down and when to speed up.
Yoga consists of physical exercise, breathing exercise and relaxation:
Physical exercises include forward bends, side bends, back bends, twisting, balancing,
and inversion.
Breathing exercise teaches us to do deep and conscious breathing in order to
maximize lung capacity. In a stressful situation, proper breathing can soothe our
nervous system. On the other hand, we can also use our breath to energize our body.
Relaxation is the time when the body integrates the benefits of the practice. This
enables the body and mind to be in a quiet state, which leads it to experience peace,
calm, and self-awareness.
Duration & Preparation
75 minutes (group activity) : once or twice a week. Please bring your own yoga mat, a towel and a bottle of water.
Wear something comfortable, exercise pants and tops, and avoid having full breakfast 2 hours before the class.
