Why Yoga

Did you know...

It has been estimated that stress in the workplace costs American business $300 billion a year. The impacts include decreased productivity, absenteeism, turnover and increased medical costs. Approximately two-thirds of American employees say work has a significant impact on their stress level.

Why Yoga...

Yoga is a 5,000+year old discipline which promotes health and wellness by combining a specific sequence of asanas (yoga poses) and proper diaphragmatic breathing. This combination triggers the
body's "relaxation response," which helps to bring the body into balance, reducing muscle tension and deactivating the stress response.


Yoga improves strength, flexibility, coordination, circulation and posture. Practicing yoga reduces levels of cortisol, often called the "stress hormone." Cortisol levels can drop significantly beginning with the first yoga class.


Because yoga works with all facets of the mind and body, classes can be customized to target specific physical conditions such as lower back pain and mental conditions including anxiety.
