Why do Filipinos Need Yoga?

Updated: Feb 8, 2023

In today's fast-paced world, stress, anxiety, and burnout are becoming increasingly common. This is especially true for Filipinos, who often face a range of daily challenges and responsibilities. We all know how stressful the traffic in our country is, how long we need to work, and how hectic our public spaces are.


Therefore I believe that these are the reasons why more and more Filipinos should be turning to yoga as a way to improve their mental and physical health. Here are only a few examples of how we Filipinos could benefit from Yoga.

  1. Stress relief - Yoga is a powerful tool for reducing stress and anxiety. Through controlled breathing, meditation, and physical postures, yoga helps to calm the mind and reduce tension in the body. This can help Filipinos to manage stress more effectively and improve their overall well-being.

  2. Physical health - Yoga is not only good for the mind but also for the body. By practicing yoga, Filipinos can improve their flexibility, strength, and balance, while also reducing the risk of injury. Yoga is also a low-impact form of exercise, making it a great option for people of all ages and fitness levels.

  3. Mental clarity - Yoga helps to clear the mind and improve focus. Through meditation and controlled breathing, Filipinos can develop better mental clarity and concentration, which can help to improve their daily performance and overall quality of life.

  4. Improved relationships - Yoga can help Filipinos to develop a greater sense of self-awareness and emotional intelligence, which can lead to improved relationships with others. By learning to manage their emotions and thoughts more effectively, Filipinos can build stronger and more fulfilling relationships.

Yoga offers a wide range of benefits for Filipinos, from reducing stress and improving physical health to enhancing mental clarity and improving relationships. My personal journey led me to self-heal and strengthen my body and mind and made me a stronger person.


I'd like to believe that this journey is open and possible to anyone in the Philippines despite the common hardships we face. Whether you are looking to improve your well-being or simply want to try something new, yoga is definitely worth considering. I invite you to join my yoga classes in Panglao and start a different, healthier lifestyle.
