Does anyone in here do Yoga? How is it for mindfulness?

I'm wanting to 'get in tune' with myself once I'm in the new place and starting the new chapter of my life. I feel like over the past 10 years I've become a worse person so I want to be better and reset my mind so to speak with meditation and journeling and even Yoga.

I tried Yoga once. Turns out what I really wanted was Yogo. Never make that mistake again.

You could try a free online one and see how you go. Yoga with Adrienne is good, and has a range of levels

Yep, planning on getting a mat and doing it at home. See how I go.

Thanks!

It certainly helps with mindfulness, if you go into it with a relaxed mind.

Definitely helped me, but by no means a guarantee for anyone.

I do yoga but you might want to check out breath work first.

I do yoga as I find it helps me manage my anxiety. Yoga with Adrienne on YouTube is a great channel to get started with.
