The stereotypical first thing that comes to mind when you think of yoga practice is bending exercises done by people standing on yoga mats and wearing leotards. While a large part of doing yoga means holding certain positions to build flexibility and muscle tone, there is another part that works with the breathing. This is meditation and even beginners have found extremely positive, healthy results from practicing meditation on a regular basis.

Yoga Meditation Helps You Connect With Your Inner Self
When thinking of yoga, stretching exercises often come to mind. But yoga meditation is also a part of the big picture, and the benefits can be just as positive as those derived from the physical exercises.
