Let me tell you a little about yoga…

Yoga is an ancient health art developed and perfected over the centuries in ancient India. Yoga is not a religion, a metaphysical doctrine, or a philosophy. It‘s not magic, although the amazing improvements it can make in your health, your appearance and your youthfulness may often seem magical, or even miraculous.
There are many different types of yoga to choose from. Contrary to popular belief, not all types of yoga involve impossible positions and postures, uncomfortable exercises or strenuous diets.
When you practice yoga regularly it can take years off your face and years from your body, while adding years to your life. There are certain secret methods by which the Yogis keep the flexibility and “spring” of early youth in their joints, muscles and limbs well into their older years…
In the crowded, colorful streets of Bombay or New Delhi, it’s a common sight to see, Yogis well into their seventies and even their eighties, with the straight, graceful posture of a boy, walking with the elastic, springy step of youth. They have firm, healthy bodies, their hair is dark and glossy and un-streaked with grey. They have firm, unlined faces and clear, un-dimmed eyes.
Yoga will make you look and feel years younger and many years healthier, It helps your body achieve optimum health. It works like magic because it enables the body to realize its full potential of great health.
You know that Nature has built into your body certain “defense mechanisms” for self-repair and natural safeguards against disease. When you practice yoga it helps your body’s machinery function smoothly, efficiently, and at peak performance.
By practicing this ancient health art your body is able to derive every last possible atom of nutritive value from the food you now eat, which is very different from the natural diet of your ancestors … to get every second of refreshment and rest from your sleep, to attain regularity, relief from little aches and pains, and the ability to sleep deep and wake refreshed that can make the difference from feeling “pretty good” to feeling “fantastic”!
It assists all your muscles and bones and organs to operate at their maximum potential. It unlocks the hidden abilities of your body to throw off the attacks of disease that affect so many people we know and love.
Do you suffer from insomnia and stress? Have you lost your appetite? Do you find it hard to relax? Do you smoke too much? Do you feel “worn out” when you wake up? Do you find as you grow older that you cannot enjoy full life and day to day vitality?
Yoga has the amazing power to relax and refresh you. It will soothe your nerves, calm your mind, and give you the serenity and strength and inner stamina. It can prevent the premature grey in your hair and slow the ever growing number of wrinkles in your face.
