Yoga
Yoga is one of the six schools of Hindu philosophy, focusing on meditation as a path to self-knowledge
and liberation. It is a form of exercise based on the belief that the body and breath are intimately
connected with the mind. By controlling the breath and holding the body in steady poses, or asanas,
yoga creates harmony. Yoga is a means of balancing and harmonizing the body, mind and emotions and is
a tool that allows us to withdraw from the chaos of the world and find a quiet space within. To achieve
this, yoga uses movement, breath, posture, relaxation and meditation in order to establish a healthy,
vibrant and balanced approach to living.
Yoga has both preventive and therapeutic benefits. It has been shown to offer both physical and mental
benefits to the body and the mind.
