International Yoga Day 2022: 5 Easy and Interesting Yoga Poses To Try With Your Family

INTERNATIONAL YOGA DAY 2022: There has been a massive upsurge in the popularity of Yoga. It has become the new workout regime all over the world. One of the many benefits of Yoga is that it’s a very bonding experience when performed in a group. Performing yoga asanas with the family members has many benefits, like strengthening bonds to helping each other in reaching their fitness goals.

In fact, in 2020 during the COVID-19 peak, the theme for International Yoga Day was centred around ‘yoga at home and yoga with family’. Yoga can enhance the overall wellness of the family at the same time. Here are some yoga asanas that are specially designed to turn out best when performed with someone:
