WHAT IS YOGA?

      Yoga is a mind / body discipline which promotes health, well being, relaxation and peace of mind. It is a journey of body and mind.

      The sanskrit word yoga means to yoke, to join, to unite. It is the union of the different aspects of our being.

      Yoga originated in India thousands of years ago and is now practiced world wide. Hatha yoga is the most popular form of yoga practiced in the west.

      Yoga is for everyone regardless of their age, sex, size, flexibility or their state of health.

      Hatha yoga concentrates on the physical aspect of yoga, the physical postures, breathing exercises / techniques, deep relaxation and meditation.

      It is a system of yoga that combines opposing forces, the positive and negative energies, to achieve balance.

      • Ha represents mind, the mental energy.
      • Tha represents prana, the vital force.
