The Benefits of Yoga
Yoga...
Develops body awareness, deepens mental focus and outlook and balances emotional responses through the practice of postures, breathe work, and meditation.
Yoga postures help restore, maintain, and improve flexibility and vitality.
Every part of the body is stretched, toned, stimulated and balanced.
Breathwork strengthens and directs energy and life force. By releasing physical and mental tension, yoga taps into vast resources of energy that create vibrant health and well-being.
Meditation in yoga practice gently draws the mind back to awareness of your body and breath, creating a deep level of relaxation and feeling of peace.

“The uniqueness of Kripalu Yoga is that postures, pranayama, introversion, concentration, and meditation are all happening simultaneously. In beginning stages, postures are primary and other aspects secondary. In the final stage, meditation is the primary experience.” |
