Why Practice Balanced Yoga?

With the arrival of the millennium, most people find themselves busier than ever. With the amount of choice available in all facets of our lives, it is not surprising that we feel stressed. Technology is progressing rapidly, and we are working harder and faster, just to keep up.

The rapid advance of technology into our homes and workplaces also means we spend more time on our computers. Ten years ago, life was quite different. In the last decade, time saving devices and adjustments have been added to our offices, enabling us to work more quickly than ever before.

As a result, we are becoming much more of a chair-born society. We commute to work on a train or bus. We spend up to eight hours sitting on office chairs. By the end of the day, our lower backs feel tight and our hip joints feel stiff. Many people feel pain in the back of their neck, due to the tightening of the trapezius muscles. Wrist pain and rotator cuff stiffness are also ailments caused by sitting in an office on a daily basis. Over time, as a result of incorrect breathing and postural patterns, your body starts to feel very uncomfortable. The good news is that a simple routine of daily stretching will make an incredible difference in the health of your body and the quality of your life.
