Yoga & Meditation

Yoga comes from the Sanskrit word “yuj,” which means “union” or “to join.” The overall philosophy of yoga is about connecting the mind, body, and soul. It is practice of mind and body. There are various styles of yoga which combine physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation or relaxationto promote mental and physical well-being.

Yoga maintains that chakras (To make hyperlink to attach detailed description)are center points of energy, thoughts, feelings, and the physical body. According to yogic teachers, chakras determine how people experience reality through emotional reactions, desires or aversions, levels of confidence or fear, and even physical symptoms and effects.When energy becomes blocked in a chakra, it triggers physical, mental, or emotional imbalances that manifest in symptoms such as anxiety, lethargy, or poor digestion.

Asanas are the many physical poses in yoga. People who practice yoga use asanas to free energy and stimulate an imbalanced chakra.

In addition to improving flexibility, strength, and balance, yoga can also reduce stress levels and aid in weight management.Generally, yoga is a safe way to increase physical activity and also have many health benefits.
