What is Yoga?
"A yogi's brain extends from the bottom of the foot to the top of his head."
- B.K.S. Iyengar
Yoga is an ancient system of health and fitness which originated in India. Today, yoga is accepted as a comprehensive exercise to promote control of the body and mind. Yoga has become accepted as one of the best ways to achieve health, fitness and balance. Literally, yoga means "to unite", and it is through yoga that we work towards uniting the harmonious integration of the body, mind and spirit. In this way the result is optimal health and longevity.
Yoga is not a belief or a religion but a way for us to reach our greater potential. Yoga is a refined system that works on developing and balancing strength and flexibility, stamina, focus and endurance. Through a series of physical poses and a focus on the breath and an awareness of the body yoga helps us to deepen our sense of well being.
