By the study it came to know that those who are less likely to be reactive, or give into temptations, are better equipped in life to have healthier, happier relationships. It’s easy to imagine that if we’re more thoughtful rather than reactive, that we could improve how we communicate and interact with those people we spend time with on a daily basis.

Yoga is a whole life practice and one of the areas I witness its magic is in the realm of relationship. I recall noticing a change, in me, right from the beginning. That was18 years ago, my then young son, now almost 21, reaped the rewards of a calmer more patient mom. I'll never forget the day I was feeling a litte mom-stressed and he looked up at me and said, "Mom, I think you need to go to yoga!"
