Yoga Class

Yoga Yoga is an ancient physical and spiritual activity and branch of philosophy that originated in India reportedly more than 5,000 years ago. It is an activity that increases your flexibility, strengthens your muscles, centers your thoughts, and relaxes and calms you. Yoga uses asanas (postures) which is focused on specific body parts. It also includes pranayama (breathing techniques), it helps to integrate the body with mind and mind with soul. The asanas (postures or poses) in Yoga helps condition your body. There are thousands of yoga poses, and these poses are called kriyas (actions), mudras (seals), and bandhas (locks). A kriya (actions) focuses on the effort necessary to move energy up and down the spine. In Yoga, mudra is a gesture or movement to hold energy or concentrate awareness; and a bandha (locks) uses the technique of holding muscular contractions to focus awareness.

Yoga focuses on your mind by teaching you to concentrate on specific parts of the body. It uses controlled breathing as a way to merge your mind, body, and spirit. The breathing techniques are called pranayamas. In this technique, “Prana” means energy or life force, and “Yama” means social ethics. It is believed that the controlled breathing technique of pranayamas will control the energy flow in your body. The controlled breathing helps you to focus on muscles that are working. And during savasana, it slows down your heart rate, calms your mind, and leads to a deep, inner calm and sense of relaxation.
