For over 10 years I was lucky enough to live on the beautiful island of Ibiza. I ran an excursion business taking people to explore beautiful secret places around the island. Five years ago my housemate who was a yoga teacher encouraged me to start practicing yoga to help with my back problems. So I initially started practicing yoga for the physical benefits that it offers. But once I started practicing I soon discovered another benefit. I found that after my yoga practice I would feel more relaxed, my mind would be calmer and I would be perceptibly a little bit happier. What I didn't realise when I first started practicing, is that yoga is effectively a moving meditation. So as well as increasing your strength and flexibility the sequences of poses and your breathing gives your mind something to focus your attention on in the present and prevents your mind from wandering. I started to make morning yoga practice a part of my daily routine and have been enjoying the benefits ever since.
