International Yoga Day With Your Best Smart Companion

The pandemic has changed our lives forever and underlined the importance of wellness, not just in India, but across the world. The crisis has brought to the fore the importance of strengthening our immune systems. Yoga is considered to be one of the most efficient ways to improve the immune system since it is a combination of physical exercise, controlled breathing, and mental concentration — all of which are known to have health benefits. Yoga is one of the most potent rituals that brings an impressive change in your lifestyle, behaviors, and mentality.

Smartwatches can be a great fitness companion when it comes to getting the most out of Yoga sessions, especially when it comes to tracking your heart rate and helping you with breathing exercises. Smartwatches can also track your mindfulness practices and give you detailed insights and advice on how to meditate effectively.

If you’re trying to cut back from your everyday hustle and take a step back to meditate and wind down, a good smartwatch can be a faithful companion right there on your wrist.

With International Yoga Day just around the corner, we have curated a list of Garmin Smartwatches that will help you with your everyday relaxation.

The Venu 2 Plus comes with a robust suite of health and fitness features under the concept of ‘Dear Body – Work on A New Look’. The newly in-built Health Snapshot aspect in the watch enables the users to log a two-minute session to record key health stats, including heart rate, heart rate variability, Pulse Ox, respiration, and stress, and generate a report via the Garmin Connect™ app to monitor the statistics.

For someone just starting with Yoga, the Venu2Plus and Venu2 both come equipped with animated video instructions for multiple types of workouts. The watch is preloaded with animated workout tutorials and new workouts can be added as well by the Garmin Connect app.
