Yoga does more than calm your mind

There is another good reason to get out your yoga mat.

Practicing yoga may protect you against certain diseases.

A new study shows that women you regularly practice yoga for at least two years have lower levels of inflammation in their bodies.

High levels are associated with asthma, cardiovascular disease and depression.

If you’re thinking about giving yoga a try, September is the perfect month to do so.

Next month is National Yoga Month and many studios are participating.

Lucy stores will be offering free classes. Visit their site for more information.

So far no yoga studios in Arizona are participating, but new studios will be added soon.
