How to use your body to bring your mind back to a place of gratitude.
Restless mind? Tense shoulders? Tight hips? The fix is the same: yoga. "The practice is all about feeling connected to your body, by quieting your thoughts and focusing on sensations", says Nike Master Trainer and yoga instructor Alex Silver-Fagan. "When you do that, you not only relieve physical tension, you're also thrown into the present moment—a headspace that can help you stay centred even after you've rolled up your mat".
To help you find your Zen, we've curated our best yoga workouts, tips and tricks from our coolest and most collected trainers. Mood-boosting flows, stress-busting meditations, gratitude-growing techniques … it's all here and all yours.

And that's something to feel grateful about right there.
