| Yoga for You... with Ann Lapo |
||||||||||
| Yoga is a noncompetitive activity that can boost your energy, reduce stress, and increase your flexibility, strength, and balance. Students are encouraged to work as their own bodies dictate, and find that concentration and observation skills increase, breathing becomes deeper, and renewed energy occurs. People of all ages and physical conditions can practice yoga. It can be started at any age. It can be done while seated at a desk in your workplace or as a high energy workout for fitness in a studio or your home. Many people who find yoga beneficial continue to practice it for life. A typical session includes three disciplines: body postures (asanas), breathing exercises (pranayama), relaxation and meditation. The goal is to mildly stretch and strengthen all the muscle groups in the body as you work with the breath. Meditation and relaxation accompany, and you'll leave the session with body and mind relaxed. Although rooted in a 5,000 year-old tradition, it's an excellent antidote to the challenges of our contemporary lifestyles. Modern day calisthenics and some therapeutic programs are based on yoga postures. Yoga is practiced by some 15 million people in the United States. Please join us! |
