Yoga

I’ve decided to start doing yoga. I’m always fidgety and nervous throughout the day, and I’m sick of it. I’m never comfortable in my own skin when out in the public, can yoga help with that? If so, what’s a good routine?
Also when people come up and talk to me, I really don’t know how to respond.. I just shake my head and stutter.. how do you speak to people with out feeling this way?

This 20-minute beginning yoga routine will not only help you clear your mind of the stresses of school, but will increase your flexibility, strength, and vibrancy.

When performing this routine, breathe slowly and evenly through your nose.
