I started this year planning to practice Yoga regularly, as it helps my mind and body. This is the second week of my Yoga month-long challenge, which is doing Yoga every day for January. I'm following the series with "Yoga with Uliana" Please join me on this journey, you can read about my first week if you click here.
My hope is that my yoga journey serves as a source of motivation and encouragement for those who aspire to begin their own yoga journey.
Whether you're just starting out or aiming to reignite your yoga practice, I encourage you to embrace this opportunity and discover the transformative power of yoga in your own life.
Let the new year be the catalyst for positive change, and may you find the motivation needed to embark on your own yoga journey.

This is a great lower-body stretch and this session will help in increasing flexibility in this area.
