Yoga is a mind and body practice with a 5,000-year history in ancient Indian philosophy. Various styles of yoga combine physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation or relaxation. In more recent years, it has become popular as a form of physical exercise based upon poses that promote improved control of the mind and body and enhance well-being. There are several different types of yoga and many disciplines within the practice.
Yoga teaches you how to relax and release tension, as well as helping to strengthen weak muscles and stretch tight ones. It also helps balance and integrate mind, body and spirit, to enhance energy flow and stimulate the body's own natural healing processes.
