January is HERE and sometimes people aim to add in more/different exercise routines as part of their New Year’s Resolutions.
No matter what type of activity you choose to add to your regimen, it will no doubt do you a lot of good! Any amount of movement will improve your physical fitness and be better for you than sitting around!
At the YAA, we think that yoga is a great choice. Practice improves strength, flexibility, stamina, as well as provides a host of mental and emotional benefits.
Check out the YAA’s list of certified teachers who offer classes all over Alberta. Highly trained and experienced teachers are the best introduction to a new yoga practice, or if you are interested in taking your practice to the next level.
