What is Yoga?  

Yoga means the experience of unity.  Yoga is more than just a series of exercises that stretch, realign and strengthen the body.  It is a practice that helps us bring awareness to our breath, which helps us calm our mind in this busy world we live in.  Practicing the ancient tradition helps us find harmony within ourselves, and live in greater peace with others and within our environment.

Yoga is a sequence of exercises that help improve health and flexibility.  The beauty of yoga is that anyone can practice it, no matter what age, sex, or fitness level.  Yoga postures can be modified to meet your needs, whether you have restricted mobility or whether you are already physically active and looking to complement your physical activities.
