Staying in a healthy exercise routine can be pretty challenging. But the benefits of living a conscious, open, integrated life are worth the effort. This morning on KSEE Sunrise, Katie Flinn from Coil Yoga demonstrated “Taking Back Your Health with Yoga”

Yoga offers you the tools to help you pull yourself out of those cracks and teach you how to take back the power of being healthy and strong.
Yoga postures are essentially the body’s building blocks for physical excellence, mental stability and physiological balance.

The power center for our health rest in our spinal column. The spine in is often referred to in Yoga as the “tree of life.” The spine houses the central nervous system and when it is weak, so are we.

Backbends are an amazing way to build strength, balance weakness, increase vitality and improve physical and mental posture.
