As far as I’m concerned, sport is indispensable, but certainly not in a gym class. It must come with a certain philosophy (indeed a natural aspect -more difficult in Pari-, or the possibility of meeting people for team spirit …).
That’s why I practice Yoga since 15 years. Because it requires lots of muscle work, once the bases are acquired, but also morally and humanly. One of the mantras of yoga is: “My body is a temple, I must take care of it”, and at all levels. Yoga postures stem from several medicines, precisely conceived to stimulate your body and soothe your mind. By doing it twice a week (or more, often alone), my posture improves, I breathe better, I sleep better, I am less ill in Winter, (yes, yes!) and my outlook on the world is different, more open to others.
I go to an absolutely wonderful place, run by adorable and passionate people, CANAL CENTRAL, rue Lucien Sampaix in the 10th. The room is lovely and bright; the courses are not crammed in and the teachers have a real approach.
They also have Pilates, Feldenkrais, Shadow Yoga, etc… Check out their site!
