Why Practice Yoga?

Why should we practice yoga? What does yoga encompass? Can I practice yoga and my organized religion? Our upcoming blog postings will discuss each of these questions and more!

Yoga is a lifestyle that promotes health. Health, through yoga practice, encompasses physical, mental and spiritual well-being. This well-being is attained through a trained mind that focuses our intentions on staying healthy.

During our daily lives we have many stressors—family, work, finances. These stressors act upon our minds, disturbing our sense of peace. Through a consistent yoga practice, we attain peace through a mind focused on health and well-being. When difficulties arise, we have the physical, mental and spiritual energetic strength to deal with them effectively. Then, we regain our peaceful mind.

Peace and happiness is within each of us. A consistent and dedicated yoga practice helps us to express these qualities in our daily lives.
