What yoga can do for YOU
The physical benefits: Tone and strengthen
your body. Improves flexibility, breathing, energy, and
vitality. Help to balance metabolism. Improve cardio and
circulatory health. Relieve pain from tension, injury or
arthritis. Look and feel younger!
The mental benefits: Learn to handle stressful
situations reducing the negative effects on your body. Learn
to quiet the mind so you can focus your energy where you
want it to go — into a yoga pose, on the golf course, or at
work. Encourage positive thoughts and self-acceptance.
The spiritual benefits: Build awareness of your body,
your feelings, the world around you, the needs of others.
Anyone can do yoga: Regardless of age or size,
whether you’re a couch potato or athlete, it does not matter
because there are modifications for every yoga pose. The
idea is to explore your limits, not to feel pain, but to
release the tension you are holding onto.
Remember When!: When we were babies we were all
flexible. As babies, we were once able to pull our toes up
by our ears and twist our bodies into all sorts of
positions. Then we aged, became sedentary, perhaps had
injuries, and began carrying stress in our shoulders and
back.
We lost our balance in life.
Yoga is an ancient practice that helps create a sense of
union in body, mind, and spirit. It helps us bring balance
into our lives again.
