THE YOGA THAT REFRESHES

Michaeline Kiss Michaeline Kiss, owner of the Yoga for Health studio in New York City,teaches students to unlock hidden energy that can help you get through the day.

"I'd like people to think of yoga not as a burden added to their terribly busy schedules but as part of the natural flow of the day, whether that means sitting in an office, standing in front of a class, or picking up their child from school," she says. "You can even think of the exercises I'm going to suggest as brief reprieves from the day's activities."

Michaeline recommends these exercises to awaken, distribute, and conserve your energy. Yoga may just be the activity to revitalize your life!
