1. Why Yoga?

Yoga, as a meditation in motion, is a tool to become more aware, to practice present moment awareness. When we are more aware, we experience more happiness. Read a more elaborate answer on my blog.

2. How do you come back to your inner peace?

I sit, I close my eyes, and focus on my breath. That may be for 3 breaths or for 20 minutes, depending on where I am and how much time I have.
