The Sanskrit word yoga means to harmoniously unite or “yoke together” the body and mind for physical and spiritual well-being. Simply put, it is an experience of conscious connection that can lead to profound feelings of joy, contentment and fulfillment, even bliss.
There are many traditional yogic paths that facilitate this connection, and the classical techniques stretch back more than 5,000 years: bhakti, kundalini, jnana, tantra and karma yoga are just a few. The practice has three main structures: exercise, breathing and meditation. Yoga can include posture (asana), breathing (pranayama), control of subtle forces (mudra and bandha), cleansing the body-mind (shat karma), visualizations, chanting of mantras, and many forms of meditation.
What’s true for all techniques is that yoga is an effective tool for managing stress, increasing relaxation and flexibility, improving overall health, expanding one’s sense of personal freedom and deepening self- knowledge

Consistency is key. If you’re new to yoga, we encourage you to attend a couple of classes a week, with at least a day in between to allow your body to rest. This will help you to learn the basic foundations of safe alignment and breathing, while building a strong foundation for your practice. Choose a class that works with your schedule and stick with it.
After you start to develop a foundation for your practice, which can take three to nine months of consistent practice one to three times a week, we encourage you to explore different classes to discover what resonates with you. Over time, increasing your attendance to three or fours times per week is recommended for a well-rounded regime.

This is a positive sign. It means that your body is adjusting and already growing stronger. With dedication, you can expect nothing short of a transformation in your body, mind, spirit and overall health.
