How do you spend quality time your loved ones? Is it going to the mall or having dinner in a restaurant? A good quality time includes doing activities that every member of the family loves. One of the activities every family must try is yoga. The practice of yoga has physically, mental and emotional benefits for all ages. It also creates a space for connection, bonding and a sense of community.
