YOGA is a centuries-old practice that combines physical exercise, meditation, and breathing techniques, Yoga helps in developing wellness of mind and body. It is a practice that naturally moves the focus of your body to self-awareness, inner healing, and better health. #yoga has been found to assist in better aging, through increased flexibility achieved through low-impact stretches and exercises. Regular strength training with yoga offers to minimize the muscle loss that occurs as we age and also helps keep bones strong. #yogini #yogaeverydamnday #yogaforwomen #40plus #womenin40s #musclestrength #yogameditation #asana #yogaposes #benefitsofyoga #yogalife #yogalifestyle #yogaexpert #payalgidwanitiwari #mumbaiyoga

So proud of all the Ashtanga practitioners who turned up in full force to practice with Guruji, @sharathjoisr this morning. When I first started Ashtanga Yoga and went to Mysore, it was not considered a cool practice by Indians ,was considered only for the weak, sick or old.. and there was hardly any Indians practicing, and when I told my family back then in 2001 that I wanted to be a yoga teacher, they thought I had gone mad!!!!.. Back then in Mysore there were mostly westerners practicing and a handful of Indians. This morning to see a room full of enthusiastic Indian practitioners in the room, practicing with full gusto, made me so emotional.❤️???? . Hope the numbers keep increasing.???????????????? Once again all you guys who showed up this morning, I’m proud of you, you guys did a great job!!!!????????❤️???????? . See you once again on the mat tomorrow morning.???????????????? . Thx once again to @truebayindia for making this happen.
