Our classes teach Yoga in the tradition of B.K.S. Iyengar . Restorative poses use props for support in different positions, so that gravity facilitates realignment and stimulation of the body. Our classes also teach pranayama. The practice of Yoga can provide many physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual benefits. Many physical ailments or conditions can be relieved through Yoga practice.
Yoga can also help stabilize the emotions.
Some poses are calming and others invigorating. By becoming more aware of one's own body, mind, and spirit, the Yoga practitioner can also experience profound spiritual growth. Nor is there evidence that yoga practices can act as a preventative. Finally, a yoga practice offers something positive for the AIDS patient to do to help counteract feelings of depression, helplessness, and despair. We do not have the resources to conduct a scientific study of whether the ancient wisdom of yoga can delay or reduce the progression of AIDS, but we believe that this is entirely possible.
