You don’t need to be able
to touch your toes before you take a yoga class. That may happen through your
practice or it may not, it is not important. In yoga, you come as you are
and as you dedicate yourself to the practice, the body opens and transforms
along with the mind.
Here are just a few ways yoga improves your health
1) Improved
flexibility, which is one of the most obvious benefits, although during
your first class you may not experience this benefit but if you stick
with it you may even notice aches and pains disappear.
2) When you come in and
out of postures (asanas) you are stretching muscles and moving organs
around which helps increase drainage of the lymph system, which has
a fluid rich in immune cells. The lymphatic system fights infection
and disposes the toxic waste of cellular function.
3) Yoga encourages you to
relax and slow your breath, which is calming and restorative to the
body and mind.
4) Anytime you do a weight
bearing posture you are increasing bone density and strengthening your
skeletal structure.
5)
Certain postures also help to prevent arthritis, as you go in and out
of the eagle pose; for example, you are lubricating the joints which
keeps them from getting stiff. Although if you already have arthritis
you should take care and be sure to honor your body. |

A typical class begins with breath awareness to help the student to be present in her body, mind and spirit in this moment. Yoga stretches are then introduced to bring about a gradual energizing of muscle, bone, gland, circulatory and nervous systems. Asana (poses) continue the process to allow for the opportunity to develop strength, flexibility and balance in the student. Pranayama (breath control) is introduced in the class to experience the more subtle aspects of the energy body. All classes end with deep relaxation and meditation may be included. The essence of the class is to create an environment that will enhance the growth of the student and foster a sense of well being that can then flow into all aspects of life. Classes may vary from this depending on “inspiration” and or special requests from the student or class.
