“Unlike doing weights or running on the treadmill, which I do myself as a compliment to my practice, Yoga and some other holistic wellness techniques, take exercise one step further by offering the practitioner a mindful understanding of what the mind, body spirit endure during these exercises. Staying present and focused during your practice, learning to breathe properly, creating good body posture/alignment, are some of the basic and practical principles students learn during a yoga class. They are then encouraged to incorporate this into their daily routine, called life. The result is less stress and more happiness. Yoga is simple and wonderful in that it serves to offer guidelines for each individual to create their own good health and happiness. The encouragement and understanding of how to heal oneself through yoga specifically, is given back to the practitioner! How amazing is that!” says OmPass Founder, Devi Drea.
