Yoga has been around for thousands of years and is gaining popularity in this country because people are recognizing its many benefits. Yoga is a form of exercise based on the belief that the body and the breath are intimately connected with the mind. By working with the breath as you move the body or hold the body in certain postures, yoga creates harmony. The yoga concept is that the body has a series of energy centers known as chakras. These energy centers are linked to our physical, emotional, and spiritual selves.
How should I prepare for Yoga class?
It's best to not eat for several hours before doing yoga and to dress in loose comfortable clothes. A yoga mat is not necessary but if you have one it’s great to use. You can bring a towel if you want or simply be directly on the floor. Be sure to let the instructor know if you have any specific health related concerns before starting yoga.
What are the benefits of Yoga?
Yoga impacts several systems in the body in a positive manner, e.g., the nervous system, digestive system, immune system, and circulatory system. Yoga reduces stress, decreases fatigue and increases self awareness and a sense of balance in our lives. As yoga allows you to relax, it has healing affects on the mind, body, and spirit.
