Yoga
COMING SOON!
Many people think that yoga is stretching. But while stretching is certainly involved, yoga is really about creating balance in the body through developing both strength and flexibility.
This is done through the performance of poses, each of which has specific physical benefits. The poses can be done quickly in succession, creating heat in the body through movement or more slowly to increase stamina and perfect the alignment of the pose. There is an ideal way that each pose should be done, although not all yogis will agree about what that is. (http://yoga.about.com/od/beginningyoga/a/whatisyoga.htm)
Yoga exercise can improve circulation, stimulate the abdominal organs, and put pressure on the glandular system of the body, which can generally result to better health. (http://www.abc-of-yoga.com/beginnersguide/whatisyoga.asp)
