Yoga

Yoga is a complete science of movement that originated in India over four thousand years ago. It is a practice of personal development encompassing the body, mind and spirit. Yoga postures or poses are called "asanas" and are used to stretch and tone every part of the body including the muscles and joints. The asanas also strengthen internal organs, glands and nerves necessary to maintain good health. Breathing is an important part of the Yoga system used to train the mind to let go of distractions and to focus on one thing as a point of concentration. When you can calm your mind, you can calm your body, release tension and reduce your stress level. Anyone can practice Yoga and gain benefits regardless of age or physical condition. Some of the immediate benefits from the study of Yoga are: improved posture, increase in balance and flexibility, and stress reduction.
