sanctuary for your Soul
Yoga is a practice designed to help unify the body, mind, and spirit. Yoga is a way of life. The word Yoga means “to yoke” or “to join”. While yoga is a spiritual practice it does not belong to any one religion! The practice of yoga has been adopted, developed, and refined by people of many creeds and cultures all around the world.
The ancient yoga style that originated thousands of years ago ‘Hatha Yoga’ translates to “union of the opposites through a force.” This is a powerful and transformative practice of postures (asanas), breath (pranayama), gestures (mudras), locks (bandhas), meditation sounds (nadausandhana), and cleansing process (Shat kriyas) for magnifying the physiological functions of the body in order to prepare it for attaining mental steadiness and realizing spiritual goals.
