Yoga originated in India 5,000 years ago as a spiritual practice used to quiet the mind and deepen one’s moment to moment experience. The Sanskrit word Yoga is translated as 'union' between mind, body and spirit. When this happens, a state of inner peace is found. This inner peace has been said to be every human being’s true Nature.

All the yoga asanas are simply a means to an end. I find it fascinating that the ultimate goal of all that posing and movement is to make the body comfortable in complete stillness. The idea is to make the body limber enough to sit for long, silent meditations. Thankfully, there are so many benefits along the way. Yoga is a wonderful way to get in shape, reduce stress, and improve overall health!
