Benefits of the activity
Still haven’t tried out the wonderful world of yoga? In addition to its countless physical benefits, it’s an exciting way to find oneself. Stress, pressure, and anxiety are common in most of our daily lives. However, yoga can help you to get rid of the symptoms of these problems from your consciousness to pave the way towards inner peace. We can help you build a solid foundation:
• One of the foundations of yoga is conscious breathing, a method that allows participants to control their thought patterns, better connect with their own bodies, and improve their power of concentration.
• Moreover, few activities can help you understand the limits and possibilities of your body better than yoga, which will help you learn how to relax your muscles, stimulate your consciousness, and take a leap forward into the fascinating world of meditation, an essential step towards finding inner peace.
• Do you suffer from back pain or other muscle aches? Say goodbye to these issues with yoga, because every movement is designed to relieve muscle tension and make your body more flexible. In addition, thanks to these exercises and conscious breathing control, you will be able to address problems ranging from anxiety and stress to excess weight.

What to do in the area
If Andalusia is one of the most visited places in our country annually, it is precisely because of cities as culturally and historically rich as Cadiz. Beautiful villages, charming and unknown beaches, an incomparable gastronomic offer and original activities near some of the most emblematic monuments.
- Art and culture: you can’t visit Cadiz without being captivated by some of the city’s most important monuments: Cadiz Cathedral, Plaza de San Juan de Dios or Parque Genovés are some of the places you can’t miss.
- Activities: not far from the artistic gems we mentioned earlier, in Cadiz you will also find activities for young and old. Excursions to castles, beaches and mountains, bicycle routes through some of the most impressive scenery in the province and hiking in such attractive villages as Olvera, Arcos de la Frontera, Sanlúcar de Barrameda or Setenil de las Bodegas.
- Gastronomy: in Cadiz we find another list of typical dishes that you must try if you set foot in the town: the shrimp omelette, fried pascaíto, chicken a la canilla and mojama are some of the most delicious proposals.
