Join Katie Herring from the VA New York Harbor Health Care System for a gentle introduction to yoga in a 28-minute video designed for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. The session primarily takes place on the floor, with most movements done seated or lying down. It starts with breath practice and a warm-up to prepare the joints and muscles. The class focuses on slow-flowing movements that stretch and activate muscles, improving posture and relieving discomfort. Practicing yoga can enhance general wellness, alleviate stress, and improve sleep and balance. This video allows participants to enjoy the benefits of yoga from home and can be repeated as needed. Additional classes are available in the #LiveWholeHealth series for those looking to continue their yoga journey. Yoga promotes a sense of self-awareness, patience, gratitude, and inner peace, fostering a deeper connection to oneself and the surrounding world. For more insight on yoga’s health benefits, resources are available from the National Institutes of Health.
