Benefits of Yogic Practice Include:
- *Building muscular strength and flexibility
- *Relief of stress and muscular tension
- *Increased lung function and capacity
- *Assisting function of the lymph system
- *Offering a sense of relaxation and well-being
Class begins with calming breath exercises and gentle warm up movements, followed by more flowing postures that stretch and strengthen the muscles. The joints will be given the opportunity to flex and widen their range of motion. These movements will be followed by a time to breathe deeply and learn relaxation techniques. Hatha Yoga encourages physical health through exercise and mental health through stillness and relaxation. By building a connection between body and mind the whole person benefits. Yoga is not associated with any religion. It is simply an ancient system of movement and stillness proven to bring health and wellness to body and mind. Therefore everyone can enjoy its many benefits.
