Yoga is about learning to come back to yourself. It’s finding your limits, expanding your boundaries, and being able to truly relax into who you are. According to yoga philosophy, health is the balance and core functioning of all physical, mental, and energy systems within our body. Asana (yoga postures) were conceived in ancient times to promote holistic health by stimulating and balancing the internal body systems and maintaining homeostasis.
Having a regular practice develops awareness of your body’s habitual holding patterns and over time your body will start to undo less-than-perfect posture. Your weak areas will grow stronger, and your tight areas will develop more flexibility. Overall vitality and energy levels will improve, and help develop strength, stamina, and coordination. As you start to unwind your body and mind you will be able to drop into relaxation more easily, restoring balance and mental clarity within. Yoga is an all-round life enhancer and open to every one of us.
