Frequently Asked Questions
What is yoga?
The word yoga means "union" in Sanskrit, the language of ancient India where
yoga originated 5000 years ago. Yoga, in general, is a spiritual practice or
discipline that helps the individual unify his/her body, mind, and heart.
You will also feel more relaxed because you invited your mind to focus on
something repetitive (i.e. sound, breath, movement).
If you stay with yoga long enough, you may discover a "spiritual awakening" (for
lack of a better phrase.) You will find out that who you are, is not just your body,
and not just the conversations in your mind.
Through steady practice, you will manifest less self-importance, less material
attachment, more capacity for joy, less judgmental, and more tolerance toward
others.
Genuine yoga will change your life, your habits, your body, your health, your
mind, your breathing patterns, your attitudes, your outlook.

What if I am not flexible?
You can still do yoga if you are not flexible. Yoga is breath and is also a moving
meditation ... You do what you can on that day ... Yoga is not a competition or
competitive sport ... Your body will not do the same class twice ... Remember -
it's called yoga practice not yoga perfect ...
