20 minutes of yoga for more balance
The body isn't always in balance. This is most evident when practising yoga. Sometimes even the simplest exercise throws us off balance. This is when a yoga session is the most effective as it's the synthesis of balance, breathing, strength training and stretching that returns us to our roots.

For her, yoga is the perfect combination of core training, relaxation and balance training, and this is what she has put together in our 20-minute yoga flow.
