It's no use spending every waking moment with your head in a book. It's important to keep your body healthy while you work your mind. Monica Burton from the British Wheel of Yoga answered some of our questions.
Yoga is an ancient discipline concerned with developing a holistic healthy and harmonious lifestyle.
It is a combination of physical and mental exercises which promote flexibility, reduce stress and increase stamina and strength. Yoga isn't about standing on your head or sitting in a fancy cross-legged position. The most widely practised form of Yoga in the West is Hatha Yoga. All classes should offer students a balanced programme to stretch and flex the body. Some classes may be low impact whilst others can be very demanding.
