Sting & Yoga
Because of his love for yoga, he practices almost every. He feels yoga has brought positive changes to his lifestyle both physical and mentality. This is one of the reasons that he follows the same ritual before every concert. An hour before going on stage he relaxes by doing yoga and listening to music. He says that yoga makes him more focused on singing.
“The deeper you get into yoga you realize it is a spiritual practice. It’s a journey I’m making. I’m heading that way.”
Yoga is a healing system of theory and practice. The purpose of yoga is to create strength, awareness and harmony in both the mind and body.
