Chase relaxation with the best yoga app
Stress, that 6-letter word, is the cause of countless physical and psychological ailments! To name but a few: sleep disorders, loss of appetite, fatigue, muscle contractions, especially in the back, and memory impairment!
What can we do about stress that eats away at us every day? Of course, there are many ways to fight it. But Less Saves The Planet advise you to start practising yoga on apps. Indeed, it is an easy and adaptable activity regardless of the place and time of day.
As we spend more and more time at home, why not take advantage of this to relax and eradicate negativity.
For this occasion and in relation to Low & Slow, Less Saves The Planet has put together a short list of the 4 best apps to do yoga in peace with your smartphone.
Down dog: Yogi’s delight!
