Yoga Maa Shakti

In today’s world, being stuck in an office cubicle sitting all day is just a normal scenario. The lack of physical activity is pretty much normal nowadays because everyone is caught up in work. Along with an unhealthy lifestyle, an individual is prone to low energy levels and very poor endurance.

Stamina is the mental and physical strength to stay active for a long period of time. It can also be translated as perseverance. The ability to perform a task for a long run while sustaining your energy and strength, and successfully achieving the end goal is very challenging for most of us. This is due to the lack of activities that stimulate and force the body and mind to perform beyond their current state.

Reenergize with Flow!

A poor lifestyle is one of the main reasons that lead to sicknesses such as headaches, skyrocketing stress levels, and breathing discomforts. Do you find yourself running out of breath after 30 minutes of walking in a park? Do you experience a mental block as you attempt to finish your project throughout the night? Or maybe you can’t keep up with your loved one’s energy when making love? These are all signs of low stamina.

Yoga has a natural way of boosting stamina through poses. These poses can efficiently help improve the overall health in no time! Follow and experience the benefits.

Goddess Pose

This pose can effectively increase the strength of the calves, hips, groins, back and the arms. It is also a very effective hip opener.
