YOGA

The term Yoga comes from the Sanskrit word meaning "union." Yoga is the union of physical exercises, mental meditation and breathing techniques which combine to strengthen muscles and relieve stress. The asana, or movements, can be flowing and gentle or held in place and strenuous. Some of the benefits from the practice of Yoga include stress release, opening up the body and mind to overcome challenges, and experiencing the freedom of letting go and relaxing completely in the final pose.
