Yoga Therapy For Beginners
Stretch
the Body-Flex the Soul
The word Yoga is derived from the Sanskrit language and means "union". It is one of the oldest forms of healing therapy and teaches that a healthy person is an integrated unit of mind, body and spirit. It is a threefold process that involves:
- Practicing certain postures to strengthen the body.
- Controlling the breath to create mental/emotional balance.
- Concentrating the mind is the power of prayer.
Yoga exercises help an individual to focus the mind inward; on the breath, on the self, and strengthens the functions of the entire body. The stretching postures serve to remove energetic blockages and helps the body to relax Through controlled breathing we enhance the energetic life force that resides within the body to achieve a state of balance between the mind and body, which in turn raises our awareness to a higher state.
