What is Yoga
Historically, yoga originated 5,000 years ago in the Indus Valley of India. Originating from the Sanskrit word, yoga means “to unite.” The union yoga refers to is between the body, the mind, and the spirit. While there are many different styles of yoga (Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Iyengar, Bikram, Kundalini—to name a few) and while each type of yoga has a different emphasis, each practice is based on the same poses and postures. These poses are known as asanas.
Asanas help restore the body’s focus, balance, strength, and vitality. Each pose asks the body to realign, stretch, and develop both strength and stamina. These exercises also encourage deeper mind-body awareness.
