The Beauty of Yoga

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

Sound heavy? It can be. But many people do yoga solely for its physical benefits and that's often where beginners start. Yoga can improve your muscle tone and flexibility, decrease stress, provide pain relief and balance your endocrine system. Practicing 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 positive lifestyle changes.

Classical yoga has eight limbs, or branches. One branch, hatha yoga, is what most people practice today. Hatha yoga focuses mostly on physical postures known as asana and breath exercises or pranayama. Under the hatha umbrella are different yoga styles which offer different interpretations on the postures and how to approach them.
