We had a very peaceful #mefirst twitter chat with @letitgo8 as we talked about all things yoga.
- Have you ever tried yoga? if so what kind? if not – why not
- What are some of the benefits of Yoga?
- What are some misconceptions you’ve heard regarding yoga
- Is yoga better in a studio or can one practice at home
- What’s the most important thing you have taken from yoga to “off the mat”
- How can yoga help you to be a more mindful eater?
- What are some of your favorite yoga resources? books/dvds/websites/podcasts
Regular yoga practice is associated with mindful eating and we had a great talk about all the benefits (better sleep, strength, flexibility, relaxation, crushed some myths (you don’t have to be flexible or know all the poses to start doing yoga) and had some good belly-laughs
