We live in a crazy world and relaxation is either hard to find or too expensive. If you need a little peace at the end of your day, nightly yoga with, Kristi Bult of Every Heart Yoga, LLC in Lake Charles may be the answer. Before you shrug this off, you need to know that there are tremendous health benefits to yoga.

We all need a moment to relax and breathe. It doesn't matter how old or young you are if you're male or female. It doesn't matter if you can't physically bend, do all the lunges or stretches at first. Just do whatever you can do, because you will eventually be able to do everything if you stick with it. Try it! It can literally do the body good.

Yoga is not a competition, it's about gentle movements that help to reduce stress, manage your mental wellness, learn how to release negative energy and increase physical energy. According to John Hopkins Medicine the

"National Institutes of Health, scientific evidence shows that yoga supports stress management, mental health, mindfulness, healthy eating, weight loss, and quality sleep. Lie down with your limbs gently stretched out, away from the body, with your palms facing up."
