▪️ Emotional balance
It’s ancient, but timeless.
Yoga in Numbers

▪️ 25,000+ yoga studios worldwide

But at its core, yoga is free — and for everyone.
Want to Start? Here’s How
Start with simple poses: Downward Dog, Cobra, Mountain

Don’t worry about flexibility — it’s a journey 🧘♀️

Yoga isn’t about touching your toes.
It’s about what you learn on the way down.
