Yoga, particularly when combined with meditation, has a remarkable ability to help you accomplish harmony and get your mind working in complete synchronization with your body. Too often in life we find ourselves unable to complete simple tasks because our inner conflicts and confusions are weighing us down.

Increased lubrication of joints, tendons and ligaments.
