Yoga - A Primer

Yoga, derived from the Sanskrit word meaning "union," is a philosophy that connects the body, breath, and mind to energize and balance the whole person.

This mind-body therapy involves physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation to improve overall well-being.

Today, millions of Americans of all ages and fitness levels practice yoga regularly.

Although yoga is a spiritual practice to many, the majority of Westerners who practice yoga do so as an exercise and fitness routine or to reduce stress.
