'Yoga' comes from the Sanksrit word meaning "to yoke," or "union." Students practice harmonizing the mind-body-spirit connection to live with more self-awareness, increased physical and mental health, and ultimately, a life more aligned with happiness and contentment, or "santosha."

Yoga is a practice that benefits more than the physical body. It is one that helps the practitioner/student go inward by settling the distractions and noises of the outside world. The breath leads every student on a journey of transformation, healing and alignment.

Yoga leads to better, overall, physiological functioning throughout the body. It helps strengthen one's immune system, digestive system, endocrine system, and more. As to its psychological benefits, the practice of yoga can help one become more mentally and emotionally centered. It leaves the practitioner feeling emotionally grounded and, at the same time, it helps to release suppressed tension and emotion that can creates illness and dysfunction in body and mind.
On a more spiritual level, the practice of yoga stimulates acceptance of our inner connections with the environment, other people in close proximity and other people everywhere. In that way, it helps practitioners become more compassionate, and, perhaps, more ethical. With newfound recognition that the lives of all people are intertwined, the thought of trying to steal from another or otherwise harm another becomes unacceptable. Such an action would be effectively steal from or harm the practitioner him/herself. Simply put, one's heart, one's core, expands with the realization and experience of how we are all interconnected spiritually. |
