New To Yoga

An ancient science with modern-day benefits, yoga, derived from the Sanskrit root word yuj, means to yoke, control, or unite. Yoga unites your body, mind, and spirit, while linking your individual consciousness with the collective consciousness of the world.

Sound heavy? It can be. Many people practice yoga solely for its physical benefits; that's where beginners often start. Yoga can improve your muscle tone and flexibility, decrease stress, provide pain relief, and balance your endocrine system. Yoga can also lead to a sense of inner peace, greater self-awareness, and deeper spiritual understanding. Many people find that those intangible benefits inspire additional lifestyle changes, leading to an overall sense of well-being.

Classical yoga has eight limbs, or branches. One branch, hatha yoga, focuses mostly on physical postures (known as asana), and breath exercises (or pranayama). Different hatha yoga styles offer distinct interpretations on the postures and how to approach them.
