Yoga is a profound system of holistic health, which originated in India over 5,000 years ago.
Yoga is defined as having eight branches.
Yoga is well-suited for practitioners of every level, from neophyte to guru. Yoga teaches us to appreciate our bodies, as they are right now, no matter what bulges they may have. Yoga teaches us to appreciate our bodies for what they are, instruments of self-expression and beauty, instead of saying they aren't thin enough, or muscular enough, or good enough. It is only through this appreciation of what we are that we can become what we dream about being. Yoga teaches us to love ourselves enough to want to care for ourselves.
