“The body is your temple. Keep it pure and clean for the soul to reside in.”
~B.K.S. Iyengar

Yoga is an ancient Indian body of knowledge that dates back more than 5000 years ago. The word “yoga” comes from the Sanskrit root yuj, which means “to unite” or “to integrate”. Unifying the body and breath in a way that creates unity is a main part of yoga. Yoga relaxes your body and mind, stress relief, increased energy, flexibility, improve your mental awareness and elevates your overall health and well-being.

Today some consider Yoga to be a religion that helps one to be unified with God and some take it as a method to live a healthy and good life. There are many new variations of the original Yoga to be found like Zen Yoga which combines the beliefs of Tai Chi with original Hindu Yoga. Yoga appears to be as old as human existence itself and if it has made its way through such a long history there must be something about it that surely benefits human life in one way or the other.
