YOGA FOR YOUR HEALTH

The Asanas

Asanas are the postures or poses that you will learn. Collectively asanas correct posture, improve breathing and increase energy. Individually, asanas have a distinctive effect.

Standing postures create vitality, sitting postures are calming, twisting poses cleanse, inversions (upside down poses) develop mental strength, balancing postures bring a feeling of lightness, backbends are exhilarating. At a physical level the asanas tone and strengthen all the systems within the body ie. musculature, circulatory, digestive, hormonal and respiratory.

The mind learns to listen, concentrate and focus so that eventually awareness is diffused equally throughout the body. The repetition and practice of asanas brings understanding and knowledge. You are learning the science of yoga.

From this learning comes the reward of patience and discipline. Then will come the gracefulness, the art of yoga. Your practice becomes more effortless.

From this effortlessness the flow of energy is felt. You will start to feel yourself functioning to your highest potential far beyond anything you have experienced before.
