Reduced Anxiety and Stress

According to the European Journal of Integrative Medicine (2021), meditation reduces stress levels by up to 38%. Combining yoga with meditation further amplifies these effects, calming the nervous system and promoting a sense of well-being.

Practices like Pranayama (breathwork) and mindfulness meditation improve focus and memory. This is particularly beneficial in today’s fast-paced lifestyle, where mental clarity is key to success.

Insomnia affects 1 in 5 Europeans, and studies show that yoga and meditation can improve sleep by reducing overactive brain activity. Try the Legs-Up-The-Wall Pose (Viparita Karani) and a 10-minute meditation before bedtime for optimal results.

How to Incorporate Yoga and Meditation Into Your Life

Yoga is a beginner-friendly practice because it meets you exactly where you are. Unlike high-intensity workouts, yoga adapts to your body's needs while building strength, flexibility, and mindfulness over time. Here’s why it’s a great choice for anyone starting their wellness journey:

  • Start Small: Dedicate just 15 minutes daily to yoga and 5 minutes to meditation. Gradually increase your practice as it becomes a habit.

  • Join a Class: Practicing in a group setting enhances motivation and provides guidance. Check out our class schedule to find the right program for you.

  • Use Technology: Apps like Headspace or Calm complement your yoga practice by offering guided meditations.
