Life can get the better of us sometimes and given how everything is expected to be done immediately and more nowadays, we find ourselves bummed out and drowning in stress. Given that we sometimes feel guilty for taking a break since our minds are focused on accomplishing so much in so little time, know that coping with stress is essential to boosting your productivity as an individual.
There are many ways you can cope with stress healthily but one of the most popular ones right now is through yoga. Yoga incorporates the physical with the mental, utilizing poses that aim to strengthen the body, improve balance and posture, and promote mental wellness. If you’re feeling particularly stressed, take the time to unwind with yoga by trying these top 5 places in the Philippines.

Yoga Manila offers a luxurious yet affordable and welcoming experience for yoga practitioners of all levels. It also has a conducive, peaceful ambiance that allows clients to fully immerse themselves in the practice, coupled with soothing music and dimmed lights. If you’re a beginner, you needn’t worry!

Located in EDSA Shangri-La and Ayala Alabang Village, Yoga Manila offers a holistic yoga experience that’s sure to treat the mind and body. The atmosphere, the instructors, the classes, and even their equipment such as blocks and pillows that help beginners slowly come into their form are all great factors to making the experience worthwhile. There isn’t a need to reserve a slot so most students can stop by anytime. Be mindful, however, that they only have one or two classes per-day.
Stress and weight gain/loss are more connected than most think. Stress can be a huge contributing factor to weight gain by way of hormones or through habits such as stress eating. Getting rid of stress is the key to a happier, healthier life and there are plenty of healthy ways to get rid of stress, yoga just being one of them. If you are looking for a way to improve your life in a holistic manner, be it weight loss, weight gain, or using weight loss medications, get in touch with a weight loss specialist and a registered nutritionist dietitian who can help you get your life back on track.
