in #sixweekhealth7 years ago (edited)

Hello everyone, it's another new week and we have every reason to be happy and grateful for life.
I am here again to participate in the sixweekhealth challenge week five.
This should be my favorite week since it deals with an aspect of life which I take seriously and that is fitness.
A big vote of thanks to @healthsquared for keeping this contest running and interesting too and Much love and respect to @sweetsssj for her continued sponsorship.
I really think that you two are amazing.

Now to the task of the week.
I want to show you people how I workout and that is simply through yoga.
Yoga is truly a wonderful way to exercise the body and as explained by Natalie Nevines
“The purpose of yoga is to create strength, awareness and harmony in both the mind and body,”

More. The purpose of yoga is to align your body with your inner soul and this must be in the mind of every yogi at any time during a session.
The mind must be kept free from distressing thoughts.

The more you focus your inner energy, the more calm and refreshing each twist and stretch becomes.
