About Yoga
The word Yoga comes from the Sanskrit word of "yuj" meaning "yoke", "join", or "union". The union is of mind, body,
and spirit. Yoga is approximately 5,000 years old and originated in India. There are many types and styles of yoga.
What is most often practiced in the West is Hatha Yoga. This style of yoga includes postures for the body, breathing
practices and concentration/meditation techniques. Yoga is not a religion; it is a collection of techniques designed
to bring health and well-being.
Benefits of yoga include:
- relieve stress from the pressures of work and home
- reduce muscular and joint pain
- gain flexibility and strength throughout your body
- improve balance and posture to maintain a healthy spine
- increase energy level to be able to keep doing the activities you love
- find serenity and peace in the midst of the busyness of your life
- cultivate compassion and honesty with ourselves and others
- be a part of a community of people sharing a common goal of improving their lives and the world around them
"I view myself and other more compassionately. I am less competitive and don’t set myself up for failure by comparing myself to others any more. I have less frustration overall in my life due to the internal focus I have found. I take better care of myself; I sleep better; I eat better all due to the turning point of taking yoga classes. For the first time in my life, I am comfortable with myself from the outside in and from the inside out. "

"Although I have not been an athletic person, yoga classes are easy to follow and give me a good workout. I am much more aware of my posture, and learning good body alignment and mechanics has made gardening easier. "
