Yoga is a 5000 year old Science, being adopted by millions of people around the world for its innumerable health and mental benefits. The word ‘Yoga’ means ‘to join’ and is the union of the body, mind and the soul. Practice of just the asanas can have a tremendous positive effect on the physical and mental aspects of the human body.
What differentiates yoga from other physical activities is the importance given to the mindful action and connecting each movement with the breath. In this process, we learn to be present in the moment, and enhance our ability to cope with the pressures of everyday life. Yoga brings about both outer and inner healing and well being.
