What is Yoga?
Yoga originated in ancient India as a practice that trains and cultivates harmony in the body, mind, and spirit. Yoga combines physical postures, breath control, and meditation. It has functioned well for stress reduction, self-soothing, increasing strength and flexibility, and even socializing. The practice of yoga has grown in popularity over recent decades as a form of exercise, mindfulness, and even treatment for anxiety and depression. Yoga can vary from a gentle, relaxing flow to a strenuous, sweat-inducing workout.

Science also demonstrates that mental and physical health work hand in hand and are inherently parallel.
