What is yoga? "Yoga" is a Sanskrit word which means "union": A physical, mental, and spiritual union. Yoga originated in India as a way of teaching and preparing men to sit for meditation.

Today, when most people think of yoga, they think of "stretching". Although stretching is involved, "stretching" only refers to one of the 8 limbs of yoga: asanas (postures). The remaining 7 limbs are a process of cultivating greater mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being than physical activity.

On a practical level, yoga is about change and balance. By learning and practicing asanas(postures) a transformation occurs. Greater strength, stamina, flexibility, body awareness, sense of calm, and creativity are just a few of the benefits or changes that occur. Because it is an individual process, one can begin at any time. Whether it's a strong, dynamic fast moving class or a more limited mobility chair yoga class, it is the same.
