What is definition of Mindful Yoga in Mindfulness Techniques?

Mindful Yoga is a combination of mindfulness and yoga practices. It involves intentionally paying attention to the present moment, cultivating awareness of one’s thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations while engaging in various yoga poses and movements. It focuses on building a non-judgmental and non-reactive attitude towards physical sensations and thoughts that arise during the practice. By incorporating mindfulness into yoga, practitioners aim to develop a deeper connection between the mind and body, enhance self-awareness, reduce stress, and promote overall well-being.
