Benefits of Practicing Yoga
Wellness Through Movement
Rooted in Indian philosophy, Yoga is an ancient and complex practice. It has become popular in the Western world as a way of promoting physical exercise and mental health. The use of physical postures, asanas, strengthen the body and allow the body to release tension. Breath-work, known as pranayama, helps calm the nervous system to reduce stress. Linking physical movement with deep breathing greatly improves a person's well-being. For beginnger's, visit Yoga Journal for tips on how to get started.
