Building Stamina Through Yoga

Yoga, which means “union” or “harmony,” is an ancient philosophy originating in India more than 5,000 years ago. The practice of yoga integrates physical and mental exercises including postures, breathing techniques, mantra, yogic relaxation, and meditation, all of which stabilize, condition, and reward the mind and body. Though an ancient discipline, yoga’s continuing popularity today is a testament to its effectiveness at engaging the mind and the body, building self-awareness, and creating a strong, flexible body.
