Benefits of Yoga

People often ask how yoga is different than stretching, and the truth is, yoga includes stretching, but it is much more than stretching.  Yoga utilizes the muscles' abilities in an advanced and functional way, combining stretching with movement, strength training, balance work and breathing techniques to facilitate the following health and wellness effects:

• Relief from chronic pain
• Increased flexibilty
• Improved posture
• Improved balance and coordination skills
• Greater core strength
• Enhanced calm and centeredness.
