Whether you’re stuck inside or working from home doing something vitally important to keep our city going, yoga could be the answer.
The focus on breathing, the concentration required to find balance in certain poses, the flow of the movements – it’s all an active meditation that can help clear the mind, quieten anxieties, and strengthen your body.
Digme at Home

Once you’re set up, move all lamps away from the vicinity and get ready for that reverse warrior pose.
