Frequently Asked Questions
What is yoga?
The word yoga means "union" in Sanskrit, the language of ancient India where yoga originated
5000 years ago. Yoga, in general, is a spiritual practice or discipline that helps the individual
unify his/her body, mind, and heart.
You will also feel more relaxed because you invited your mind to focus on something repetitive
(i.e. sound, breath, movement).
If you stay with yoga long enough, you may discover a "spiritual awakening" (for lack of a
better phrase.) You will find out that who you are, is not just your body, and not just the
conversations in your mind.
Through steady practice, you will manifest less self-importance, less material attachment,
more capacity for joy, less judgmental, and more tolerance toward others.
Genuine yoga will change your life, your habits, your body, your health, your mind, your
breathing patterns, your attitudes, your outlook.
