Four-day yoga festival will combine music with relaxing exercises
It is widely known that yoga is an excellent way to relieve stress, tension and anxiety. But did you know that it can be an efficient method of pain management, too? Individuals all over the world have engaged in the gentle poses, stretches and breathing techniques to help them cope with debilitating conditions such as fibromyalgia and multiple sclerosis. In fact, women with breast cancer often perform yoga in order to help alleviate the discomfort of the side effects of chemotherapy.
Engaging in the soothing exercises to music can help enhance the benefits of this holistic mind-body regimen, a concept that will be relied upon at a mountaintop festival to be held later this month, according to the Washington Times.
The four-day event combines yoga and music with other relaxing activities such as hiking and wine tasting.
According to instructor Schuyler Grant, who co-founded the festival with her husband Jeff Krasno, the whole point of yoga "is to live intelligently and with inquiry, instead of blindly stumbling through the darkness," quoted by the news source.
