Exercise and physical activity is a must in everyone’s life. It is important to keep the body moving in order to stay healthy, and have an active mind. Fitness ensures that you remain energetic and dynamic throughout the day. Yoga is one of the best forms of exercise, as it approaches well-being in a holistic manner. 

Yoga promotes the development of the mind, body, and the spirit. It has a variety of practices underneath its umbrella, including physical postures known as asanas; breathing techniques known as pranayama, meditation or dhyana, mudras, chanting and much more. 

Not only does yoga focus on the physical body, but it also helps keep the mind calm, eliminates anxiety, reduces stress, and increases focus. Ideally, the best time to practice yoga is early in the morning when the sun rises, but you can also practice yoga anytime of the day which is convenient for you. 

Follow this simple flow of Himalaya pranam to refresh, recharge, and rejuvenate yourself. Derived from the ancient Himalayan system of greeting, Himalaya pranam consists of 11 steps and is a dynamic form of exercise for the body. This simple and easy flow contains a combination of movements including forward folds, backbends, plank etc.
