Yoga
As rejuvenating for the mind and soul as it is for the body, yoga — one of the oldest and most popular activities the world over — appeals to people of all ages, experience and fitness levels.
Not unlike martial arts, yoga joins your breath, mind and spirit through a series of poses and movements that flow into one another. The most well known style of yoga is slow and meditative, building strength and flexibility, but in fact, there are more than 100 types of yoga, some of which are fast-moving or in warmer setting, offering cardio and weight loss benefits.
Yoga practitioners also swear by the activity for its calming, restorative effects. Many turn to it as a part of physical therapy as it strengthens every muscle group in the body with practitioners working through progressively more challenging poses and movements.
