Yoga is a group of practices and disciplines originating from ancient India. The purpose initially was to unite body and soul, but it has become much more than that over the years. Today, yoga is practiced by high level executives to image-conscious stars around the world. Even athletes are adding yoga to their training programs. The benefits of practicing yoga are not only spiritual, but also to develop a strong and flexible body.
There are many types of yoga, from physical intensive to more meditative. There is also a great deal of cross-over among various yoga schools and even a diversity in teaching approaches within each discipline. We recommend attending a few different types of classes to discover what suits your needs.
We’ve done the research for you and made a list of the top yoga schools and classes in Malta.
