21世紀節(jié)奏飛快的生活中，一場慢悠悠的運動——瑜伽，悄悄席卷了世界。

截至2020年，全球約有3億人練習(xí)瑜伽。在日本，練習(xí)瑜伽的人數(shù)從2005-2010五年之間增長了413%；2012-2016年，美國瑜伽群體拓展了50%，到2020年，增長至175%。

哈佛醫(yī)學(xué)院指出，瑜伽對生理（身體柔韌性、肌肉耐力、心肺功能，及血壓、血脂、血糖等）及心理（精神壓力、焦慮、憂郁等）都有可見的益處，是一項增進身心健康的低風(fēng)險、高收益的運動。

為什么瑜伽會有這么多好處？

不少長年研習(xí)的瑜伽教練曾表示，練習(xí)瑜伽最大的助益不外乎一件事——呼吸。
