Free Online Yoga Videos from YogaYak

In my quest to find a way to remain active during the somewhat sedentary winter months, I came across YogaYak.  They offer a host of instructional videos for yoga, meditation, and Pranayama.

If you are unfamiliar with yoga, Wikipedia defines it as a traditional meditative practice and both physical and mental discipline which originated in India. "Yoga has been studied as an intervention for many conditions, including for pain, stress, and depression."

I recommend beginning with YogaYak's Hatha Yoga 1 video shown above. It is a beginning class which guides you through each asana (posture) and ensures that your practice can grow as you advance through the video series.

Be sure to drink a cup of neutral temperature water just prior to and immediately following your practice.

Namaste
