Yoga in nature

Regular physical movement is beneficial for emotional wellness because it reduces levels of stress hormones like cortisol while increasing the production of endorphins, which enhance mood and promote feelings of well-being.


Additionally, movement improves sleep quality and boosts self-esteem, contributing to a more positive outlook on life and better resilience against stressors.


Regular movement:


  • Enhances self-esteem and body image

  • Improves cognitive attention, memory, and decision-making

  • Increases overall life satisfaction and quality of life

  • Improves mood and reduces symptoms of depression

  • Increases production of endorphins, leading to feelings of happiness
