What is yoga?

Yoga is a science of well-being that insures health on all levels by restoring inner harmony and balancing the physical body. Yoga uses exercises (asanas) to relax and tone the muscles and to massage the organs, breathing techniques (pranayama) to regulate the body's energy level, meditations to calm and center the mind, and relaxation postures to reduce and eliminate stress. Yoga is the world's premier holistic health care system, designed over thousands of years and practiced by millions of people. It is a proven technology, accessible to everyone, for systematically improving the body, mind, and spirit.
