September is National Yoga month it’s a perfect time to get “bendy” yoga well known to increased strength stamina and flexibility. I have been practicing yoga for years and it does enhance your ability to stay focused on task improve your attitude and decreases anxiety. I also think it helps you to feel Zen, focus, and even loose weight. When you feel good you look good! I find after I go to yoga class, my creativity and communication skills are much better. Yoga is fantastic it will only help you improve your overall health and well-being and mental function. I love National Yoga Month and Wedderspoon, its a perfect mixture.http://www.yogahealthfoundation.org/yoga_month

These are my top 3 reasons why I love yoga and smile more!

1. Turn off monkey mind when the inner chatter is nonstop our bodies are functioning under a constantlow-level stress a simple smile and a good stretch can instantly relax the body and release tension on cellular levels.

2. Just sitting and being positive. All the feel-good chemicals are released when you smile and stretch dopamine’s and endorphins plus it boosts your immune system strong balances your hormones and stabilizes your blood pressure and heart rate.

3. Feel connected with people there is a magic that happens in the yoga studio when everybody is relaxed and completed a good class there’s a connection that stays with you the whole day.

4. Yoga is a journey of life you will be amazed on how you progress if you keep at it. It Is a feeling of accomplishment and a great time to relax.

5. Yoga is honoring your body and making yourself feel good, makes me feel centered when all the energy is flowing and the blood is pumping.

Feeling good and having physical and mental flexibility will help you in every area of your life
