Mindfulness and yoga truly go hand in hand — both invite us to slow down, tune in, and be present.
Through mindful movement and breath, yoga helps calm the mind and ease stress, while mindfulness strengthens focus and self-awareness. 🧘♀️
For students especially, these practices can be game-changers — improving concentration, managing anxiety, and bringing a sense of balance amidst busy schedules.
