Welcome

Yoga is defined as "Yoke" or join together

Joining the left ( moon) and right (sun) sides of the body intertwining the mind and spirit to withstand the impurities that result in disconnection.

Many practice yoga to focus on finding peace in comfort from the many stresses of life not for toning their bodies which can be an unintentional benefit.

The asanas provide space into the body to stretch and connect with the breath so that one may be comfortable while meditating.

With this breath, your focus is turned to the connection between the self and the universe.
