Healthy Lifestyle and Yoga for EVERY"BODY"

PEACE AND SERENITY

NAVIGATE:
Yoga is an ancient tradition dedicated to develop mind, body and spirit. The tradition of yoga, (union) originated in India over 5000 years ago and is practiced throughout the world.

Hatha yoga is the yoga most practice, as it focuses on the physical postures(asanas) linked through breath (pranayama) to energize the subtle channels (nadis). The translation of the word Hatha is Ha (sun) and Tha (moon) or the balance of the sun and moon or pairs of opposites.

The practice of Hatha yoga, breathing and meditation promote well being, inner and outer strength and flexibility to create freedom in both mind and body. When our bodies are free from pain and illness, we begin to feel rejuvenated; our spirit is replenished, cultivating a sense of harmony.

Yoga is a non competitive, focused practice on yourself leading to balance in life.
