Yoga is one of the oldest mind-body practices in the world, with its origins dating back more than 5,000 years in India.

Yoga involves physical, mental, and spiritual practices including breathwork, stretching, movement, and mindfulness. Types of yoga include athletic styles like vinyasa yoga and slower styles such as hatha yoga—so there’s a yoga practice for everybody. Benefits of yoga include lower stress, better flexibility, stronger muscles, and mental clarity.

Roll out your mat and browse our guide to yoga moves, yoga equipment, and yoga flows. (Oh, and if you’re looking for “yoga studios near me,” look no further.)
