In yoga, practitioners are encouraged to pay close attention to their bodies, to feel the stretch and release of each movement, and to breathe deeply and intentionally. By doing so, they can improve their flexibility, strength, and balance, while also reducing stress and anxiety.

  • Tai Chi: emphasizes slow, deliberate movements that are coordinated with deep breathing. Tai Chi has been shown to improve balance, reduce falls, and enhance overall well-being.
