We spend our daily lives surrounded by a huge number of stimuli and are often almost incapable of paying attention to our internal signals. What can yoga offer modern people with a hectic lifestyle? The effects of yoga on physical health are indisputable, but it is important to understand that, for the harmonious functioning of body, mind and spirit and for achieving true balance, it is not enough to pay attention only to the physical dimension. Relaxation, mental techniques and meditation are just as important as stretching, warming up and strength positions. Since the stimuli we receive cannot be turned off simply by pressing a button, just as we cannot change the external environment in the blink of an eye, it is important to realise that we can do a lot to maintain our balance with simple techniques that can be easily integrated into our daily routine.
