How does it differ from other forms of activity
e.g. Aerobics? |
| |
It will not interfere with other sports - it merely
makes you more effective in whatever you do. Most forms of
exercise do not concentrate nearly enough on warming up, stretching,
cool down etc. The correct positioning of the body in Yoga is
essential which concentrates on extension not contraction. |
