WHAT IS YOGA? The traditional art of YOGA has been practiced for 5000 years to relieve stress, expel negative energy, detoxify organs, build inner core strength, improve the nervous system and enhance wisdom, fitness and flexibility. The series of stretching and 'prana' (breathing) exercises are designed to both challenge and relax, while stimulating focus, balance and positive life force. On a deeper level yoga is a state of being in which all apparent opposites, distinctions and states are reconciled. From this state of union we live without fragmentation or inner conflict. We are able to embrace our whole being from the surface to the depths, encompassing both our transient limitations and our perennial limitlessness. We honour and live from, by, and within our true nature. This is the key to a life of peace and contentment.
