What is Yoga?
Yoga originated in ancient India and was not a exercise program but rather a way of life, a lifestyle that brought "union" to the body, mind, and soul. Ashtanga yoga consists of and covers every aspect of your being. Yoga as most people know it covers only two of the limbs Asanas (physical poses) and Pranayama (breathing) and are usually what you will find being taught in classes. These two limbs bring strength, focus, and flexibility to the body and mind allowing you to heal and revive. Our favorite DVD for beginners is Rodney Yee's Yoga for Beginners.
