The world is marking the fourth International Yoga Day today.
Whether you are an ardent yoga practitioner or are a novice, you are set feel positive, energetic and at peace after a yoga session.
Yoga is an ancient Indian philosophy that dates back thousands of years.
It was designed as a path to spiritual enlightenment, but in modern times, the physical aspects of yoga have found huge popularity as a gentle form of exercise and stress management.
There are many different varieties of yoga, but each one essentially relies on structured poses (asanas) practiced with breath awareness.

Researchers have discovered that the regular practice of yoga may produce many health benefits, including increased fitness and normalisation of blood pressure.
Yoga is a renowned antidote to stress.
Over time, yoga practitioners report lower levels of stress and increased feelings of happiness and wellbeing. This is because concentrating on the postures and the breath acts as a form of meditation.
The exercises of yoga are designed to put pressure on the glandular systems of your body, increasing your body’s efficiency and total health. Breathing techniques increase breath control to improve the health and function of body and mind.
Here’s where you can go to celebrate International Yoga Day in Australia. When practised regularly, yoga can become a powerful and sophisticated discipline for achieving physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.
