Yoga is an ancient practice that helps create a sense of union in body, mind, and spirit. It brings us balance.

Yoga will becomes part of your physical life .Your body grows stronger, more toned, and more flexible as you move from one asana or pose to the other. Y oga helps maintain a balanced metabolism, it also helps to regulate weight. Additionally, yoga stretches muscles lengthwise, causing fat to be eliminated around the cells, thus reducing cellulite.
Yoga will becomes part of your mental life. Yoga teaches you to focus on breathing while you hold the poses. This attention to breath is calming; it dissolves stress and anxiety.
You should always leave a yoga practice feeling energized, not tired. If you feel tired after yoga, it means you spent the time “fighting” yourself, trying to force yourself into poses. In yoga, you “surrender” to the pose by letting go of the tension.
