Is 20 minutes of yoga enough?

Yes: 20 minutes of yoga a day is enough , and sometimes even more than one long occasional session.
This short but regular time allows for the establishment of a gentle, accessible routine that is compatible with modern life.
In the Beauséjour spirit, yoga is not a performance, but a way of living more calmly, more consciously, more slowly .
