Yoga can… reduce stress, increase flexibility, improve balance, promote strength, heighten cardiovascular conditioning, lower blood pressure, reduce the condition of overweight, strengthen bones, prevent injuries, lift mood, improve immune function, increase oxygen supply to tissues, and heighten sexual functioning and fulfillment.
uh, yea, you read that last one right.
And here’s some of the very easy ways you can try yoga - plus, they’re right here in downtown Abilene!
