I was thinking about becoming a yoga instructor but I don't know much about it. Do you?

I do. The word yoga means "listen" in Sanskrit. It's a group of practices of both a physical and spiritual bent.

Oh really? Listen....... that is interesting. I guess listen to your body?

Kind of, yes. In India where yoga comes from, it is more than physical exercise. Meditation and spirituality are also an important part of the practice.

Oh yes I have heard this as well. I have been learning to meditate recently. :)

Meditation is a great way to reduce stress and anxiety. Meditative practices also originated in Asia.

Yeah, they are all very spiritual people in that part of the world. I would love to visit there one day.

It's a wonderful part of the world. It was actually yoga gurus from India who brought yoga to the West.

Yes, they are so merciful to bring this knowledge to the west. We are so fortunate!

Indeed we are. If you're looking to get into yoga, the two most popular types are Hatha yoga and Raja yoga. Might be worth looking into!
