Yoga Basics

Yoga is a journey, a process that helps us become more aware and appreciative of our life. Yoga means union; the practice of yoga helps to unite body, mind, and spirit. As we breath and gently stretch, bend, twist, and work our muscles and organs we loosen knots of built-up tension, unresolved emotions, anything that keeps us from harmony. This brings us to a place of inner peace, which is a wonderful place to be. In this calm, serene state we open ourselves to healing and accept our instinctive wisdom and power.

Why Yoga?

The increasing interest in yoga is in response to our growing awareness of the importance of a disciplined, balanced system of exercise in maintaining health. As stress-related health problems become a growing concern for Americans, we look for solutions. Yoga is an effective method to relieve stress and become more relaxed and focused.

What makes Yoga Special?

Yoga unites body, mind and spirit. It is a union of postures, breath and focus. The practice of yoga is deeply meditative, promoting relaxation and inner peace. Yoga encourages focus on breathing, posture and body awareness, all important elements for good health.
