| Yoga means something different to every individual. Yoga can be a tool to improve health and get fit, a ritual of relaxation and stress-relief, a path towards spiritual evolution, or a form of highest service. We recognize that we all start and continue a yoga practice for different reasons |
| Yoga is a 5,000 year old system of health that benefits all aspects of an individual - physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual. Yoga is not a religion, anyone can practice yoga. Yoga is a scientific system designed to bring the practitioner into a more balanced state of health, happiness, and a greater sense of self. |
| In Yoga, the body and mind are linked to create a state of internal peacefulness and integration, bringing the individual from a state of separation to a self-unity that is flexible, accepting and whole. At the practical level, Yoga utilizes stretching postures, breathing and meditation techniques to calm the emotional state of the mind and tone the body. |
| Today, over 20 million people in the United States practice yoga. |

What is AyurYoga? |
| "Yoga and Ayurveda go together. Yoga and Ayurveda are the ancient life disciplines that have been practiced in India for centuries. They are mentioned in the Vedas and the Upanishads. Yoga is the science of Union with the Divine, with Truth, and Ayurveda is the science of life. Yoga helps with enlightenment and Ayurveda helps with perfect health. So a yogi who does not know Ayurveda is half-yogi and an Ayurvedic Physician who does not know Yoga is half physician. The aim of yoga is union with higher self, but you can unite with your higher self only when you have a healthy body, healthy mind and healthy consciousness. So Ayurveda and Yoga are the foundations of life. Asana, pranayama, relaxation, mantra and meditation are some of the best prescriptions in Ayurveda." |
