What is Yoga? Yoga is a science of mind, an ancient system of exercise that includes thousands of physical and mental exercises designed to strengthen and balance the body, rejuvenate the nervous system and concentrate the mind. Yoga integrates the body and mind so that you can experience your essence, inner peace.

Yoga is not a religion; it is a technology and a discipline similar to martial arts. You can be of any faith or religion and still gain the healing benefits of Yoga.

Through the practice of Yoga the body gradually becomes healthier and the nervous system stronger and the mind develops the ability to concentrate. The practice of Yoga directly affects the nervous system and activates the endocrine glad system. Each of the endocrine glands plays a major role in the body's functioning. Here is a brief summary of their effects:

The gonad secretions affect your potency and creativity as well as the ability to sit still for meditation; the pancreas affects the blood sugar and digestion, the thymus affects the immune system, the parathyroid and the thyroid regulate the body metabolism, health and the aging process; the pituitary regulates the other endocrine glands and affects intuition, the pineal gland regulates the sleep cycles and affects the higher states of consciousness.

Each Yoga exercise typically has a posture; breathing, mantra and movement, through the combination of all these factors the results are faster than any other type of exercise.

There are many types of Yogic techniques available to us; like anything else if you think something has the potential to work for you; it will. Contrary to the beliefs you do not have to have a flexible body to start the practice of Yoga; however that can be a result of the skills you learn in your practice of Yoga.

I encourage you to come out experience the effects of Yoga see for yourself if you feel any difference in your well being.
