Strengthen your muscles

StrongSM2
Feel the sense of confidence that comes from a stronger body. Contrary to traditional weight building exercises, in yoga your body provides the resistance. The balancing postures require enormous muscle control to prevent falling over. This helps build up and strengthen the muscles.

Reduce your stress

HandSM2
Your breath is one of the best remedies there is....and it’s free! Slowing the breath releases the carbon dioxide levels in the blood, changing the PH level to a more alkalined balanced state. The parasympathetic nervous system then calms us in a variety of ways, helping to lower the heart rate. Ahhhh.....

Increase your flexibility

StretchingSM2
Flexibility is the proper and full range of motion within the joints of the body. This is brought about by the coordination of muscle tension and muscle relaxation via the nervous system. Stretching slowly protects muscle fibers and their tendons from strain while resistance set up by holding the posture increases muscle strength. Improved muscle strength and stretch provides stability, flexibility and protection to the joints.

Calm your mind

LakeYogaSM2
Through meditation and breath-work, we can calm the fluctuations of the mind. Meditation is the art of focusing your mind, restraining your thoughts and looking within. Research has shown that meditation can contribute to an individual’s psychological and physiological well-being. Some of the benefits include decreased anxiety and depression, greater creativity, increased feelings of vitality and rejuvenation, and increased happiness.

Ease your pain

PainSM2
Yoga can help reduce pain. Tense muscles often contribute to pain and discomfort. Relaxing muscles helps to minimize muscle tension and the pain that is associated with it. Also, breathing deeply into muscles helps lessen pain by altering your perception of it.

Reduce your weight

WeightSM2
Through different postures of yoga we can easily reduce extra fat from our body. By stimulating sluggish glands, we increase their hormonal secretions. Certain postures increase fat metabolism thereby converting fat to muscle and energy. Yoga deep breathing helps in increasing the oxygen intake to the body cells, including the fat cells. This results in the burning of fat cells.

Increase your energy
