Yoga and what it can do for you

Some people are a bit skeptical about Yoga because of it's spirtual background. I don't see how it matters, it's just a different way to gain control of your health. Yoga is not only about getting in shape and reducing stress, but it helps you to clear your mind and gain control of your body.


There are several different kinds of Yoga. Find one that suits you best, one that your most comfortable with and have fun with it. If you've ever gone through any kind of traumatic experience, whether it be combat, verbal, emotional, physical or sexual abuse, you can benefit from Yoga. Yoga studies show that it can rise energy levels, reduce stress, anxiety and depression, help ease hypertension,, arthritis, chronic back pain, carpal tunnel, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, hot flashes,diabetes, & epilepsy, among many more.

Yoga helps you to be grounded and present in your body and life. It helps you to gain an awareness of your body and its strength. With Yoga, you can gain feelings of calmness. You can learn to have a friendly and healthy relationship with your body and have complete control over it. Who doesn't want complete control over their life, body and health?
