Why yoga?
Although Yoga has been around for many years, it has become a household name in the last decade. Yoga is a fantastic way to build physical strength and flexibility as well as cultivate calm and peace in our spirits. Our bodies are designed to move. The movements in yoga build a “whole body strength” that we don’t get from all sports and gym activities. The aim of yoga is twofold. It heals the body and calms the mind. Many people turn to yoga to heal injuries and to reduce stress.
