About this listen

 Yoga originated in ancient India; the literal meaning of this Sanskrit word is “yoke” or “union. It is one of the oldest known health practices; modern studies show that Yoga can reduce stress, lower blood pressure and regulate heart rate. This discipline involves a series of stretching postures, breathing exercises and meditative practices. The overall purpose is to calm the mind, and tone the body, which creates balance, and promotes health, vitality and peace of mind. As a student of Yoga, your part is to earnestly engage in the practice. While you focus on stretching, breathing, and meditation the innate wisdom of the body, mind and spirit does the rest. Throughout history many masters and yogis have devoted their life to this multifaceted discipline. However, Yoga is extremely versatile and can be approached very simply. Students can practice at their own pace and level of ability, and receive great benefit. Tune in this week as we explore, and demystify the practice of Yoga.
