| WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BEGINNING A YOGA PRACTICE? |
| Relaxation: Yoga exercises, such as gentle stretching, breathing, meditation, and guided relaxation will release body tension and calm nervous system and emotions. |
| Concentration: Focus, attention and concentration are promoted by a yoga practice of mindful movement and body awareness. The practice of balancing postures, in particular, builds concentration. |
| Toning: Holding yoga postures creates isometric exercise which tones every part of the body, including the internal organs. |
| Healing: Yoga gently massages the glands, organs, and endocrine system. Circulation is stimulated, thereby releasing toxins from the body. |
| Flexibility: Yoga postures gently stretch the muscles in the body, increasing flexibility and lengthening the muscles, tendons and ligaments. |
| Nourishing: Slow gentle movements with deep breathing energize the body rather than tire it. This, in combination with yoga's relaxation and healing benefits, allows daily renewal and nourishment of the body-mind-spirit.. |
