The 21st of June is International Yoga Day. Yoga is an ancient system that offers not only wisdom, but also technique and practices to support physical, mental and spiritual well being.

The mix of physical postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), and meditations results in improved flexibility and balance, reduced stress and anxiety, improved overall health, and a boost in self-awareness and self-esteem. So of course we should celebrate yoga and all its awesomeness. 

Yoga Australia is a member based organisation, set up in 1999 to pioneer, develop and support yoga teachers and yoga therapists, as well as develop and promote the best yoga practices in Australia. Yoga Australia’s CEO, Josh Pryor joined Danny Chifley on the breakfast show.
