Yoga is a physical practice that often incorporates breathing techniques and mindfulness, while meditation focuses primarily on calming the mind and cultivating awareness. Both are complementary practices: yoga prepares the body and mind for meditation by reducing tension, and meditation deepens the mindfulness cultivated during yoga.

Absolutely! Both yoga and meditation are designed to be accessible for all levels, including beginners. Instructors typically guide participants step by step and offer modifications to make the practices approachable and enjoyable for everyone, regardless of experience.
