| Yoga is an ancient science of movement developed in India over 5,000 years ago.
It is an integrated system of education for the body, mind and inner spirit. The emphasis is to unify all three through breathing techniques, gentle
exercise and mind-control. This combination produces an inner calm and tranquility. The result is a feeling of peace and harmony that translates
into the way one thinks and reacts to certain situations. When you are relaxed and in control of your thoughts and emotions you are better able to cope with even the hardest problems.
Additionally, yoga exercise is the best way to boost the body's energy by releasing tension in the muscles as well as improving the blood circulation and
lymphatic drainages. Deep breathing combined with stretching increases the oxygen in the system and rejuvenates all of the body's cells, giving you more energy. Yoga increases
stamina and strength!
You will find that yoga is also the perfect partner to your existing exercise program or favorite sports activities. Whether you love playing golf or tennis, jogging, weight lifting,
biking, skiing, or just being a couch potato, yoga will enhance your performance! And, it doesn’t require a lot of expensive or fancy equipment. Yoga is appropriate for all ages and can
be modified according to your age, physique, and health profile. The key is to find classes where the pace and instruction is appropriate for you. To do this, you need be honest about
your limitations and restrictions, do a little research, ask questions, and experiment a little to find classes that suit you.
