The perfect hobby

Do you sometimes feel stressed and powerless? Are you worried about your posture (maybe you spend most of your time sitting in lecture rooms or in front of the computer)? Or maybe you're just bored? A remedy for all of the mentioned problems (and many more) might be physical activity. But the question is: which kind of exercise will be the best? Especially if you don't enjoy sports which involve chasing a ball, or don't want to spend a fortune on expensive equipment. Given the fact that I'm the kind of person who doesn't enjoy sweating, initially my favourite sport was swimming. But there is something which I find even more enjoyable: yoga. 

Actually I'm not sure if it can be qualified as sport, but bearing in mind that it made me discover muscles which I wasn't aware I had, it's definitely good exercise. Usually people think that yoga is just for those who have a flexible body and can sit motionless and meditate for hours, but the truth is: everyone can do it. The aim of yoga is not only to make your body more flexible, it also gives you strength. Working with the body also has beneficial effects on the mind, after a month of regular practice you will find it easier to cope with stress and negative emotions. 

Now the question is: which kind of yoga should you choose? For beginners I'd recommend hatha yoga, which is the most common branch of yoga in Poland. For those who like a more dynamic practice vinyasa yoga would be the right choice. If you want to work on your posture and prefer precision rather than fast movements you will enjoy Iyengar yoga. If you don't mind sweating and need something more challenging - ashtanga yoga will be just perfect for you.

If all that hasn't inspired you yet, maybe you should take a look at this.
