Yoga is integration. Integration of body, mind and breath. The flow of movement in synchronisation with your breathing, gives you the opportunity to retreat from the outside world, create body/mind awareness and find your place of peace within. 

​

Yoga involves physical postures- asanas, breathing techniques and meditation, resulting in a positive mindset while strengthening the muscles and relieving stress.

 

Yoga is not a religion and you don't have to drink wheatgrass to do Yoga.
