Yoga is a special kind of exercise where you hold your body in different shapes called poses. Many yoga poses are named after animals, like cat pose, cobra pose, and downward dog. It is a quiet way to exercise that helps both your body and your mind feel good!
You do not need to be super flexible to try yoga — everyone starts where they are and gets better with practice. You stretch your muscles, practice balancing, and take slow deep breaths. Yoga can be done almost anywhere — in your room, in the park, or even in your classroom!
Yoga helps you feel calm and relaxed by teaching you to breathe slowly and deeply. It makes your muscles more flexible and helps you get better at balancing. Yoga can also help you focus better in school and feel less worried.
