Can you imagine a sport that not only makes you stronger but also leaves you with the inner peace of a Tibetan monk?


Welcome to the world of yoga! This ancient practice that our ancestors discovered while trying to touch their toes without breaking anything.

Now, why is yoga gaining popularity among those of us who have seen more birthdays than we would like to count? The answer is simple: yoga is like wine, it gets better with age.

Or at least it makes us feel like we are improving, and that is already quite a lot. The magic of yoga lies in its ability to strengthen us without making us feel like we have survived an all-day marathon.

Yoga doesn't require a gym. All you need is a mat, a little space, and perhaps a cat watching your movements with a mix of disapproval and curiosity.

But if you’re new to "asanas" (those postures that will make you feel like a contortionist), I recommend starting with in-person classes.

Not only to avoid doing poses that look more like a circus act than yoga, but also to enjoy the energy of a group striving not to faceplant on the floor.

Discover the secret of happiness, beyond yoga

Science is on our side. A Harvard study suggests that practicing yoga regularly could improve the speed at which we walk and the strength in our legs. That means you could get to the grocery store a little faster, which is essential when there’s a cookie sale.

And it’s not just about muscles. Yoga also takes care of our mental health.

Studies have indicated that it can improve our cognitive functions. So, if you've ever forgotten where you left your keys for the tenth time in a day, yoga could be your answer.

But what about balance? Ah, balance. That little detail that seems to slip away more and more with each birthday.

Yoga helps improve our stability, which is great news for those who feel that walking in a straight line is a feat worthy of a medal.

If you’re still not convinced that yoga is the way to go, let me ask you a question: do you want a body that feels young without the drama of high-impact sports?

If the answer is yes, then pull that mat out of the closet, put on some comfortable clothes, and give yoga a chance. At the very least, your body will thank you, and who knows, you might even discover that you have a hidden talent for becoming a guru of inner peace. Namaste!
