The purpose of yoga is to build strength, awareness and harmony in both the mind and body.

​

The physical benefits of Yoga include:

​

• increased muscle strength and tone

• improved respiration, energy and vitality

• maintaining a balanced metabolism

• weight reduction

• cardio and circulatory health

• improved athletic performance

• protection from injury
   

Regular yoga practice creates mental clarity and calmness; increases body awareness; relieves chronic stress patterns; relaxes the mind; centers attention; and sharpens concentration.
