Traveling can be stressful, a lot of hurry up and wait. Things are often our of your control and comfort zone.

Yoga comes in handy for the stress as well as the confinement of sitting for hours.

Whether traveling by car, train, bus, boat or plane you too can have yoga to go. Past articles on stretches, breathing etc.can be found at yogaworks4all.com, why not print them out and take them along.

Many yoga stretches and breathing exercises are subtle micro movements, most poses can be modified to be under the radar of fellow passengers. You do not have to carry a yoga mat, wear special clothing or have a large open space to keep your stress level low, joints flexible and your mind at ease, your body is all you need. If you divide and conquer, giving your mind a task to do, like a focused breathing pattern, your body will relax. All the poses and stretches in my articles are meant to be used as a guide for taking yoga off the mat and into everyday life. Practiced while standing, sitting or waiting in line, great for around the home or office, they can be modified and practiced while traveling.

Focused breathing and meditation, other than the Purring Breath, are completely invisible to any bystander. The Following Breath, Meditative Breath and Moving with the Breath are all a gentle way of staying centered and relaxed. Yoga Shorts #3 Partial Spinal Twist, is a great way to keep your spinal column supple, it revitalizes the whole of your back and refreshes your mind. Good circulation is very important especially on long flights. Feet and Ankles and Lotus Hands are good ones for that. And who doesnt like a nice gentle back message, treat yourself to one with the Shoulder Roll Back Message.

When you arrive at your destination you will feel refreshed and ready to go instead of stiff, achy, frustrated and tired.

Yoga on the go is relaxing and simple to do. Taking yoga off the mat makes traveling easier on you!
