Breath. Movement. Connect.

YOGA

Why yoga for wellness?

Yoga is an ancient and meditative practice. It has sustained into our modern culture due to the practice’s unique and incredible ability to cultivate a deeper mind-body connection, alleviate physical and mental tension, and stimulate strength and flexibility. A yoga practice involves combinations of breath work, physical postures, and a meditative focus. Participating in a yoga is often described as moving meditation. Yoga cultivates mindfulness through movement and breath; allowing participants enhanced clarity of present moment sensations, feelings, and emotions. Yoga can calm the nervous system, improve mood, and increase self-compassion. A yoga practice can also provide unique avenues for physical challenge and growth; with opportunities to flow, play, and have fun while taking care of the body.

Often people say, “I am not flexible enough to do yoga!”, in reality yoga does not require any flexibility at all! Flexibility (in body and mind) is often an effect of continued yoga practice. Through specific poses and breathing techniques, yoga teaches us to engage our bodies and minds in ways that encourage resilience and strength.
