What Is Yoga All About?

• Describe yoga

  Yoga is a series of physical postures, breathing techniques and mental exercises, which tone the body, relax the mind, and refresh the spirit. It is an ancient Indian practice used by sages and holy men to still the mind and relax the body in preparation for deep meditation. Yoga has been extensively studied in recent years and has been found to have many physical, psychological and medical benefits.

  What to wear to class?
