Why I love Yoga

"Inhale, Exhale"

In mid-January, I started doing yoga every morning when I woke up.
I found a class I liked on youtube and started doing the 30-day challenge. It took me a few days, but I started loving the start of my days. I loved having me time in the morning, and when I managed to get up with the sun it was beautiful stretching as the warm light flooded into my room.

I love doing yoga every morning because it sets up the rest of my day. I find that when I lie in bed watching Netflix, the rest of my day is a bit slow and kind of not the best. But when I start my day with Yoga, I feel really good for the rest of the day. And I am even encouraged to eat better food.

Before I started doing yoga, I hated breakfast. I was never hungry and it just made me feel sick. But doing that little bit of exercise before I start the day makes me hungry, and I manage to eat all my muesli.

It has also made me happier, and more relaxed. And all it took was 20 minutes every morning. I definitely feel better waking up 20 minutes earlier and doing yoga, then I do when I sleep in and skip it.

Finally, I used to have a lot of trouble getting to sleep, relaxing and calming myself enough to sleep. Just before school started I began a 20 minute night time yoga as well, and this has made a massive difference to how quickly I get to sleep, and the quality of my sleep.

I would really recommend trying yoga. Literally, all you need is a cheap yoga mat, internet and youtube. I was really surprised at how much of a difference this yoga made to everything I do, and I am so glad that I started a month ago.
