Yoga
The practice of Yoga can best be introduced by quoting "The Sivananda Companion to Yoga," by The Sivananda Yoga Center:
"Anyone can practice yoga. You don't need special equipment or clothes - just a small amount of space and a strong desire for a healthier, more fulfilled life. The yoga postures, or asanas, exercise every part of the body, stretching and toning the muscles and joints, the spine, and the entire skeletal system. And they work not only on the body's frame, but on the internal organs, glands, and nerves, keeping all systems in radiant health. By releasing physical and mental tension, they also liberate vast resources of energy. The yogic breathing exercises known as pranayama revitalize the body and help to control the mind, leaving you feeling calm and refreshed, while the practice of positive thinking and meditation gives increased clarity, mental power, and concentration."

How can Yoga benefit me?
The foremost reason people start Yoga practice is to become and feel more fit, to have more energy, and to become more peaceful and stress free. Yoga is known to build harmony within your mind, body, and spirit.
Yoga is considered therapeutic because it improves posture, movement alignment, flexibility, and reduced stress. Through Yoga, balance is created in your body by building body strength and flexibility which is achieved through the performance of Yoga poses, or postures which have specific fitness benefits. Yoga poses are a constant, but the approach to them varies by the training methods of your instructor.
"Your practice" is your individual experience with Yoga as it evolves over time. Yoga skills develop as your practice changes over time with your consistent efforts. Yoga becomes increasingly more liberating as one practices it. Yoga classes also include lessons in breathing and also meditation. The low impact physical practice of Yoga often becomes a gateway into relaxation and meditation, in addition to the increased physical conditioning.
