| Physical Benefits of Yoga |
| Yoga means 'union' and is the practice of the union of our breath, our conscience thought and our physical body. We practice Hatha Yoga, a system of Yoga propagated in the 15th century from early yogic origins. Most people associate "Yoga" with the Hatha Yoga practice which develops mental, physical health and vitality. |

| Ashtanga Yoga |
| Traditional Indian, or Raja, Yoga is based on Yoga as described in the Yoga Sutras by Patanjali. In the sutras he describes "eight limbs" of yoga which we refer to as Ashtanga Yoga. The eight "limbs" or steps are: Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi. The first four are commonly practiced in western yoga. 1. Yama are self-restraints or conduct of living virtuously. 2. Niyama are observences. 3. Asanas are the physical yoga poses. 4. Pranayama means breath or life force and deals with breathing techniques. The remaining four are focused on various levels of meditation and are intended to lead the practitioner to enightenment. |
