After experiencing a chaotic period of time in my life I went into a depressive state for several months. Yoga was the one habit that pulled me out of that rut and set me on a path to a balanced life.

According to numerous sources (including Healthline) a regular yoga practice has been found to improve mental health, decrease stress, and even help with burnout. It also has countless physical health benefits.

Doing yoga daily has no doubt improved my awareness of the power and energy my body has and I’ve gotten to the point where if I skip it for even a day I begin to feel blocks in the flow of energy. It is shocking to think about how blocked up, tight, inflamed, and stressed I had been before.

The best thing about yoga may be the fact that it is so accessible. There are many online Yogis on YouTube. The teacher that I am following now is Adriene Mishler of Yoga with Adriene. Every month she posts calendars that link to daily videos following a theme.

This January I invite you to do the 30 Day Yoga Journey with me. Maybe you can make it your 2023 New Year’s resolution. See if a daily practice can turn into a beautiful and essential lifelong habit.
