What is yoga?

Yoga cultivates focused awareness to keep our minds here in the present moment.

Originating in India over 5000 years ago, yoga unifies body, mind and spirit.

Research shows that yoga helps manage or control anxiety, arthritis, asthma, back pain, blood pressure, carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic fatigue, depression, diabetes, epilepsy, headaches, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, stress and other conditions and diseases.

On a purely physical level, practice of the asanas (postures) increases muscle tone and general vitality. It also rapidly improves circulation, co-ordination and balance. The practice not only promotes flexibility and skeleto-muscular fitness, it also improves the function of the circulatory, nervous and endocrine systems - offering a truly holistic approach to health and well-being.

To name just a few benefits of yoga:

Improves muscle tone, flexibility, strength and stamina
Reduces stress and tension
Boosts self esteem
Improves concentration and creativity
Improves circulation
Stimulates the immune system
Creates symmetry & strength in your entire body
Creates sense of well being and calm.

Besides the physical benefits that yoga provides, it is the only system which addresses the "whole" self rather than the individual parts. The practice of yoga on the simplest level provides an increased sense of self-awareness.

When practiced consistently, yoga can change the body and its processes. An example of this is the improvement of digestive function through the use of twisting and forward bending poses. Increasingly, medical studies are also showing the therapeutic use of mind/body practices such as yoga in managing pain and certain chronic illnesses. At best, yoga can help prevent dis-ease by strengthening the immune system and by working at the cellular level.

Over time, yoga can also help you achieve harmony and understanding of yourself on a mental, emotional, and spiritual level. Yoga restores youthful energy and vitality!
