  • improved breathing

  • relief from pain

  • weight management
  • enhanced circulation
  • cardiovascular conditioning
  • inner peace calmness.

More than anything, yoga makes you feel better and it’s effects are almost immediate.  But, breathing is the key. Yoga helps you breathe deeply and fully.  Combining yoga postures with the breath benefits you at the core level of physical functioning. This is because the breath delivers increased oxygen to your cells while the movements and holding of postures improve circulation, removing waste materials that impair efficiency. This explains the feeling of freshness you feel after yoga and the light or clarity you see in people’s faces following a class.
