Yoga is a Hindu discipline aimed at training the consciousness for a state of perfect spiritual insight and tranquility. It incorporates a system of exercises practiced as part of this discipline to promote control of the body and mind. Yoga is a practical aid, not a religion. It's an ancient art based on a harmonizing system of development for the body, mind and spirit. The continued practice of yoga is said to lead to a sense of peace and well-being, and a feeling of being at one with the environment. The practice of Yoga makes the body strong and flexible. It also improves the functioning of the respiratory, circulatory, digestive, and hormonal system, and is also said to bring about emotional stability and clarity of mind.

DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED!
It is a myth that you have to have a certain body type to participate in Yoga. Every body is unique, and our classes are designed so that everybody will benefit, yet participants are free to follow along at their own pace. Each of us are at different levels of strength and flexibility, thus, we do not expect everybody to be able to perform every technique. For instance, the webmaster is built like a penguin, and he can not do the exercise pictured below.
