WHY YOGA?

The traditional elements of yoga, including breathing techniques, physical postures (asana) and meditation, are powerful tools that can be utilized by people of all fitness levels and physical abilities.  Not only can practicing yoga increase flexibility, strength and musculoskeletal comfort, it can also elevate mood, prevent and rehabilitate injuries, lower blood-pressure and cholesterol, strengthen balance, reduce anxiety and depression, help people manage stress, improve sleep, increase mental clarity and enhance self-awareness.

Practicing yoga during pregnancy can help pregnant women relieve many of the common discomforts of pregnancy, prepare for birth and connect with their babies, their own internal wisdom and other pregnant women.
