Namastday Yoga Center

If you are planning to go for some self-care during this pandemic phase of Coronavirus, let it be through fitness and good health. Nothing replaces the benefits of Iyengar Yoga Practice. And the good part is that Iyengar Yoga is for everyone, including beginners. It is the best solution if you are looking to explore perfect body alignment, precise instruction, intelligent timing, and sequencing of yoga poses (asana), and breathe awareness.

But can you practice it at home? Or do you need expert professionals to train you with the postures? And the answer is, you can begin it at home and can pursue the same at professional classes after the lockdown is over.
