Yoga is a great form of exercise for people of all ages and fitness levels. Find out more about the benefits of this ancient mind-body discipline. STRENGTH, FLEXIBILITY, ENERGY, AWARENESS, HARMONY, JOY… The benefits of yoga are manifold, and include strength building, improved flexibility, increased energy and enhanced awareness, according to Nadja Pizzo, the yoga instructor at the Swiss Club for more than two years. “Yoga moves the body while consciously expanding our awareness. It teaches us how to use the breath to guide our movement and empower ourselves from the inside out,” shared Nadja. “It nourishes the body as well as the mind, and the balance it creates can be taken off the mat to bring harmony and joy to daily life.” GROWING THE MIND, BODY AND SOUL A Swiss-American national and the mother of four teenagers, Nadja has lived in the United States, Europe and the Caribbean.
