Pause, breathe and stretch

There's something enduring about the calm that settles in when you roll out a yoga mat and take that first deep breath. With its roots in ancient India, yoga has long been a go-to for finding balance—both in body and mind. And it's not just a personal practice anymore. In 2014, the United Nations decided it was worth honouring globally, officially marking 21 June as the International Day of Yoga, a global nod to this age-old path to wellness.
