Synopsis:

Yoga means ‘union’ in Sanskrit. Yoga is an ancient art based on harmonizing the bodily systems and unification of the body, mind and spirit. 

Physical and mental therapy is one of yoga’s most important achievements. Yoga has succeeded as an alternative form of therapy in the treatment of common ailments such as asthma, migraine, digestive disorders, blood pressure, constipation, insomnia and stress related ailments.

Yoga’s calming effects are a great benefit for those who experience stress. Sometimes it is hard to calm the mind down and relax enough to fall asleep. Most of us have experience those nights. If you can’t sleep, try using calming poses to help yourself relax. Gentle moments and inversions are good choices. Remember to breathe slowly and fully. Soon you would probably fall asleep without knowing.

Yoga is the World’s oldest holistic system of self-development, integrating body, mind, and spirit. The science of Yoga began its development in India over 5,000 years ago and has evolved into a contemporary mind / body health and wellness system with practices ranging from purely physical fitness to a holistic lifestyle grounded in spiritual principles that expand consciousness and cultivate compassion.

Yoga encompasses a diversity of teachings and techniques, yet all schools of Yoga commit to cultivating health, fostering personal growth and supporting spiritual transformation. Yoga is highly adaptable. The only authentic Yoga is the one that works for each person according to circumstances and needs.
