Summer is hitting boundaries and sixes and it’s time to take care of your health and feel energetic. Summer is the time to put your woolens away and put your cotton on for dressing up in lighter shades of yellow, white, and blue.

It also means you keep yourself well-hydrated and protected from the heat. Summer is also the best time of the year to practice yoga. Our muscles are comparatively warm in this season so they are easier to stretch and relax during the summer. Also, as we practice yoga during summer, we perspire more which is good to get rid of the toxins from the body and open the filled pores of our skin. A girl must keep her lifestyle good and healthy during the summer season.
