What Is Yoga?

At first practicing yoga feels like stretching, but the aim is to learn yourself, identify and understand your imbalances and to make changes so that you cope with stress.

You begin by moving your body (yoga poses) but quickly learn to connect the mind, intelligence and breath to what you are doing.

Yoga is defined as: “stilling the fluctuations of the consciousness”  or as “joining the body, mind and spirit”, it is a practice you will want to become an integral part of your daily routine not just a class you go to once a week.
