What is yoga? A way of life Ancient Sanskrit word that means union. A connection of the mind, body, and spirit. It started in India over 5,000 years ago, but everyone can benefit from it.

The Western World By the time yoga made it to the western world, it lost some meaning. We focus on the outer and physical benefits of yoga. We put a lot of focus on science and medicine, when with yoga we realize what we think we become. We take time to connect with our heart.

Yoga There are subtle differences between all forms of yoga but they all have one similarity and that is focusing on the breath. Without breath, we can’t live. Focusing on our breath helps us to relax.
