Yoga means "union." This ancient art unites body-mind and spirit into a whole of well-being, inner peace and the perfect health which is every individual's birth right. The many benefits of yoga extend beyond the physical and nutritional aspects of health to encompass the emotional and spiritual benefits as well as combining into a total program of health and healing. By practicing yoga's postures (asanas) along with breath-work (pranayama), students can develop not only flexibility but also strength & endurance, building a sense of self-assurance and inner peace. Yoga is not about strain, pain or competition. Yoga is about opening the mind to speak gently, lovingly & non-judgmentally allowing the body to release into the asanas, into yoga's poetry in motion.

"Easeful body. Peaceful mind. Useful life."
-- Swami Satchidananda

Yoga students are encouraged to explore their
inner lives which can mean being aware of negative thoughts. For as the renowned yoga teacher
Lilias Folan advises: "When such thoughts come
into your mind, trade them for new mantras…
such as 'I am strong; my body is strong.' Don't
look to the right or left of you. You do your own
thing. You're perfect the way you are."

"Yoga helps me keep balanced both physically and
emotionally. I don't do as well when I don't practice. Yoga gives me perspective - it slows things down so I can have that perspective."
                    -- Kay Denham, yoga student
