Ever felt like a million dollars after a yoga class? Indeed, whether you crave a vigorous Vinyasa practice or prefer chilling out in restorative yoga, the reason we all keep coming back for more is that special, serene yoga glow we often feel after class.
Ever wondered why that happens and what it is that sets yoga apart from other types of movement?
Obviously, yoga offers similar benefits as other movement modalities: Increased circulation, enhanced detoxification, greater mobility and strength. But in addition, notes yoga therapist and author Robin Rothenberg, yoga is unique in that it invites us to connect with deeper aspects of mind and body that we typically are not in touch with.

Accessible Yoga podcast
For the past three years, Robin has immersed herself in a personal study of the breath, of the ancient teachings on pranayama, and the science of respiratory physiology. The result of this inquiry has her calling for a “Breath Revolution” in the yoga community. Her new book, released in 2020, Restoring Prana: A Guide to Pranayama and Healing Through the Breath, suggests a serious re-evulation of the ‘big breathing’ habit, and a scientifically supported return to the roots of yoga which teach us to retain prana, by minimizing breath while increasing breath suspensions. She is currently researching yoga for long COVID.
