What is yoga?
Yoga is an ancient discipline originating in India that explores, develops and integrates the body, mind and spirit. Yoga stretches and strengthens muscles throughout your body, increases circulation to internal organs and glands, quiets your nervous system and improves your concentration. A true world class fitness program, this systematic method of self-care gives the practitioner vitality, health, deep relaxation and peace of mind.
