A better you with yoga: How this practice takes care of your mental and emotional health

No matter which industry you work in, pressure finds its place in your life. Especially now when work pressure is coupled with the threat of a pandemic.

While every person has different goals, a common factor that each one of us shares is the need for better physical, mental, and emotional health–and practicing yoga regularly is a key route to achieving this.
