About Yoga

Yoga is an ancient Indian philosophy that enhances personal growth and well-being. Yoga is not a religion, but complementary with most spiritual paths. Yoga is a practice that teaches discipline of mind, body, and spirit. It consists of poses that stretch and strengthen muscles, increase circulation, and calm the mind. The teacher demonstrates correct alignment and guides students to modify the poses if a more difficult or an easier workout is desired. The use of breathing exercises and guided relaxation are two ways yoga is different from other exercise programs

Why Do Yoga?

Perhaps you are wondering if a form of exercise exists which gives you everything – strength, endurance, balance, flexibility, and relaxation? There is! Yoga is the only complete form of bodywork that does it all. Indeed, yoga is more than stretching and relaxation; it is the ultimate mind-body challenge that provides transformation.

Who Should Do Yoga?

People who have done no physical exercise at all, as well as Olympic athletes, find enormous benefits from yoga. Stiff people need yoga! The foundations of yoga include careful alignment of your body as you perform the postures.
