What is yoga?

 

Many people think that yoga is just stretching. But while stretching is certainly involved, yoga is really about creating balance in the body through developing both strength and flexibility. This is done through the performance of poses or postures, each of which has specific physical benefits. The poses can be done quickly in succession, creating heat in the body through movement or more slowly to increase stamina and perfect the alignment of the pose. The poses are a constant, but the approach to them varies depending on the tradition in which the teacher has trained.

Yoga is a scientific system of physical and mental practices that originated in India more than three thousand years ago. Its purpose is to assist individuals in achieving their highest potential, and to experience enduring health and happiness...improving the quality of life.
