Yoga Resources

Yoga is an ancient practice that comes from India which combines asanas (postures), pranayama (breathing techniques), and (dyana) mediation. Hatha Yoga is the most popular type of yoga that is practiced in the United States. However, there are many other styles of yoga styles such as Vinyasa, Jivamukti, Kundalini, Bikram, Yin, and Bhakti.

  • Helps manage stress
