I want to talk to you about the activity I most enjoy doing. One of my favorite activities is yoga. And most of the times I just do it alone because I think I can be more aware of my surroundings and my emotional state when I do it alone than when I go with someone else. But saying that I do enjoy going to different classes with people I do really not know very well. And well, first and foremost, I think that yoga is not only an exercise that moves your body because I think that it also moves your mind. I do it every day and I include some meditation at the end of my yoga practice. And also I think that when I’m practicing yoga, I get to feel this connection between my physical movements and the thoughts that are going through my mind. And I get to discard the ones that no longer serve me. So I can be lighter when I finish my practice. Most of the time I practice hot yoga and I think it’s a great way to move my body and exercise every day. But also to train my mind to be a better person. And if I have to recommend some form of exercise to anyone, I would recommend 100% without a doubt. Do yoga because I think it’s a very complete type of exercise and you get a lot of benefits.

I want to talk to you about the activity I most enjoy doing. One of my favorite activities is yoga. Most of the time, I do it alone because I think I can be more aware of my surroundings and my emotional state when I practice alone than when I go with someone else. That said, I do enjoy going to different classes with people I do not know very well. First and foremost, I think that yoga is not only an exercise that moves your body; it also moves your mind. I practice every day and include some meditation at the end of my yoga session. I feel a connection between my physical movements and the thoughts that are going through my mind, allowing me to discard the ones that no longer serve me. This helps me feel lighter when I finish my practice. Most of the time, I practice hot yoga, which I think is a great way to move my body and exercise daily, while also training my mind to be a better person. If I have to recommend some form of exercise to anyone, I would recommend yoga 100% without a doubt. I believe it's a very complete type of exercise, and you gain a lot of benefits from it.
