Yoga
The word yoga comes from the Sanskrit word meaning union. The core of a practice is to bring us to a sense of wholeness. In the West, the type of yoga most commonly practiced is Hatha Yoga which uses postures (asanas) and breathing (pranayama) to facilitate this holistic process.
The postures give us a way to explore how we hold ourselves, our habits and conditioning and provide the possibility for change.
With regular practice Yoga can improve general health, fitness and wellbeing. The postures encourage a better balance and suppleness along with strength and stamina. Often minor health worries diminish, sleep patterns improve and there is a general sense of well-being. Mentally yoga helps with concentration and dealing with the effects of stress.
