What is yoga?
Yoga is the oldest system of personal development in the world. Literally meaning to "yoke" or "unify," yoga little by little blends the mind, body and spirit into a savory concoction that truly is worth sipping. By focusing on strengthening the body, calming the mind, and controlling the breath, we evolve into happier individuals.
Several people misunderstand yoga's intentions; yoga is not a religion. Indeed, some have said they become closer to God when doing yoga, as all common distractions melt away during a pose.
EVERYONE can do yoga. You don't have to "be flexible" to practice, nor be able to put your foot over your head (We are still working on that one!) Can you laugh? Are you open to change? Then you can do yoga.
Yoga is a practice, so the more you "do" it, the better you become. Patience is necessary. Yoga is also not an aerobics class, it is a lifestyle. There is a direct coorelation with what we eat and how we look and feel. If you don't believe us, try doing "down dog" after eating a double bacon cheeseburger!
With yoga, our compassion becomes contagious. We realize we are more than just skin and bones, but rather energy. Doing yoga=good energy. Not doing yoga=grumpy and old. People can choose to delve into the deeper, spiritual aspects of yoga.
