As rejuvenating for the mind and soul as it is for the body,
yoga--one of the oldest and most popular activities the world over--appeals to people of all ages, experience and fitness levels. Not unlike martial arts, yoga joins breath, mind and spirit through a series of poses and movements that flow into one another. The most well known style of yoga is slow and meditative, building strength and flexibility, but there are more than 100 types of yoga, some of which offer cardio and weight loss benefits. Like all workouts, results vary from person to person, but there's no denying the positives that come from harnessing the power of the mind while challenging the muscles. Yogis swear by the activity Yin Yoga for its calming, restorative effects. Many turn to it as physical therapy as it strengthens every muscle group in the body with practitioners working through progressively more challenging poses and movements.
