According to many yogis, yoga can change and transform your life while improving your strength, inner peace, balance and flexibility. According to Schlamadinger McGrath, the founder of YogaSource in California “On an energetic level, yoga teaches you how to cope better with stress by cultivating a sense of ease in both active or passive poses.
