Yoga unites the mind, body, and soul in a way that eases tension, reduces stress and calms the mind. Regular practice will help develop present moment awareness and improve your breathing and outlook on life. When yoga is done well, you can learn to calm your nervous system and mind by simply applying proper breathing and meditation techniques. You will learn to respond instead of react to life's difficult situations.

Yoga is a great way to improve your overall health and performance in other physical activities. After a run, or heavy workout or mountain bike ride, yoga will balance your body's musculature if done properly. This can protect you from future injuries and leave you feeling fully engaged in your life.

Yoga not only helps improve your body, but also helps with mindfulness and meditation. It is important to take a break from daily life in order to gain clarity. Focusing on your breath during practice is key to staying in tune with your mind and body and breathing habits. A regular pranayama practice calms your mind and soothes your body.
