While our lives seem to be spinning at ever increasing speeds, yoga is emerging as an effective way to slow down and stay balance while creating physical and mental vitality. Through yoga we can develop physical vitality, mental clarity, and heightened spiritual awareness. Yoga is more effective than aerobics for building stamina and breath control and more relaxing than jogging. Yoga offers relief from symptoms of menopause, can counteract osteoporosis, cleanse internal organs, energize the nervous system, balance out the digestive system and relieve headaches and lower back pain. As a spiritual practice, yoga can be a pathway to greater enlightenment.
People become healthier, more relaxed, and stronger when they do yoga even twice a week.
It aids in stress reduction, lowers blood pressure, pain relief, and reduces or eliminates back problems. When we are pain-free we are relaxed and at peace, so yoga directly and indirectly calms the mind, creating an internal microcosm of peace, balance and stillness. When we're healthy and guided from a place of inner stillness, we're more relaxed. When we're more relaxed, we're more open. When we're more open, we're more loving.
