How important is Yoga for you?

Yoga has now become the way I start my day. It gives me a fresh start to the day and clears my mind. It makes me feel centred and calms my mind.

How has Yoga helped you?

Yoga will calm you down and energise you for the entire day and really does energise me for the entire day. Yoga is a great way for me to stay in shape and is great for my mind and body.

What is the one thing that you would like to tell our readers on Yoga Day?

Keep an open mind because yoga doesn’t fit in any preconceived notions and in case you need any extra motivation, then find a friend to do it with.
