Yoga is so much more than just asana-getting into postures. Asana is just one of the 8 limbs of yoga. Pranayama is your breath- your breath is your life source. If you had nothing you would still always have your breath it is always with you.Using your breath can slow down all your thoughts and give you chance to feel more still.

Try to take some time out for yourself to practice yoga or even meditate for 10 minutes out of your day to sit down and just watch your breath, seeing what kind of a difference this makes to your mindset and your outlook on the rest of your day. X
