Yoga has been practiced in India for thousands
of years. It is a way of life with
physical, emotional and spiritual benefits. Yoga combines postures,
relaxation, breathing and meditation techniques to obtain control
over one's physical and mental being.
Fundamental organic health occurs when the body co-develops with the mind.
This was realized thousands of years ago by the ancient
Indian yogis. Yogic Asanas (poses) accelerate blood circulation
in the body and Pranayama (breathing exercises) abates carbon dioxide
content ensuring sound health. Dhyna (meditation) helps in calming and controlling the mind.
Yoga provides benefits to all aspects of one’s life.
