What is Yoga: Yoga means union of body, mind, and spirit. Many people in the West know of yoga as a collection of physical postures to be performed. In fact, yoga is one of six major classical Indian philosophies, and it is a method for reducing suffering in all aspects of one's life.

Benefits of Yoga: Yoga has many benefits. It promotes strength, flexibility, healthy breathing, relaxation, a sense of inner peace, increased mental focus, and healing from physical injuries and emotional hurts. Whatever one's primary reason for studying yoga may be, the longer one continues to practice yoga, the more its positive effects deepen, strengthen and multiply, bringing one into closer harmony with one's true nature.

Styles of Yoga: The Iyengar method was developed by B.K.S. Iyengar of Pune, India. This approach encompasses the eight limbs of yoga, toning the internal organs and creating a dynamic balance between flexibility, strength, and spiritual upliftment. It emphasizes correct alignment, use of breath, and therapeutics. An intentional overall awareness of body, mind and spirit contributes to greater mindfulness, equanimity and personal growth on and off the yoga mat.
