Yoga is an ancient physical, mental and spiritual practice that originated in India. It combines postures, breathing exercises and meditation and can improve overall health and well-being.
Yoga can improve flexibility, strength, balance, posture and body awareness. It can also help with range of motion, pain and general function.
Yoga can help with stress relief, sleep problems, and cognitive skills such as learning and memory. It can also help with brain structure and function, and may counteract age-related declines in memory and other cognitive skills.
“Yoga means union — the union of body with consciousness and consciousness with the soul. Yoga cultivates the ways of maintaining a balanced attitude in day-to-day life and endows skill in the performance of one’s actions.” - B.K.S. Iyengar
