In recent months, life has changed, and for many people, this has resulted in a shift of pace. More time spent at home allows you to focus on the details you previously skipped over and has more energy to prioritise what matters most. You could have discovered through this period of introspection that you are beginning to feel a growing feeling of gratitude—an appreciation for both the small and significant things in life.

It turns out that those feelings of gratitude have a quantifiable benefit. Scientific studies have found that focusing on gratitude can significantly improve peace of mind, happiness, health and even sleep quality. In conclusion, there are many reasons to incorporate more of these energies into your life.

But to get there, you need to practise, and that's where yoga comes in. Yoga poses, breathing exercises, and meditation all work together to help us become more conscious, according to Cole. “It calls in that wiser part of ourselves, reminding us we are part of something more.”

Try this strategy if you're interested in using yoga to boost your gratitude.
