Yoga

Practiced for more than 5,000 years, yoga (meaning ‘union’) is one of the oldest forms of healing therapy. Yoga today, practiced in the West, focuses on the physical postures, breathing exercises and meditation.

Yoga works on the interdependence of the mind and body seeking to bring into balance the different aspects of the body, mind and personality so that the participant ends up with energy, strength and clarity of purpose supported by the whole being. For many devotees, yoga becomes a philosophy that offers instruction and insight into every aspect of life: the spiritual, the mental and the physical.

Yoga exercises are designed to efficiently improve muscle tone, relieve stress and tension and improve circulation. Correct breathing techniques can cleanse the body of unwanted toxins and relax the whole body, The benefits of Meditation are unique to the individual, but both physiological and psychological balancing is common.
