Yoga is an ancient Indian practice; its breathing exercises enhance oxygen supply to cells and improve metabolism. Yoga meditation techniques promote inner peace and balance, strengthening mind-body coordination and mindfulness.
Furthermore, Yoga allows individuals to connect with their environment in a more subtle way, thus becoming a source of positive energy in the world. Therefore, the United Nations recognizes Yoga as a holistic approach to health and well-being. Promoting the benefits of Yoga contributes to the health of people worldwide.
