YOGA- Union of Body and Mind!


Yoga is an ancient system of exercise from India.  Yoga comes from the Indian word yuj, which means to bind together, to join or to unite.  It is the union of the mind, body and spirit.  It is a system of exercise that combines stretching and breathing with a relaxed awareness, resulting in a beautiful, toned body, glowing complexion, and a positive attitude toward life.

When you practice yoga it teaches you to take responsibility for yourself, for your physical and mental well-being, teaches you to respond to  the needs of the  moment with sensitivity and grace.

Everyone can practice yoga.  It is for everybody.  We all have a body that can be trained in some manner.  The thoughtful practice of yoga promotes a mental and physical flexibility that students find beneficial in all areas of life, unlimited by concerns of aging, sex, or strength.  All you need is comfy clothing, a mat, and firm determination to do something about your life. Yoga helps develop balance, flexibility, vitality, and strength.  Yoga can help reduce stress, increases awareness, and calms the mind.  Yoga is a MINDFULL approach to exercise!!!!
