YOGA
The main philosophy of yoga is simple: mind, body and spirit are all one and cannot be clearly separated. Yet there is a multitude of philosophical ideas developed by looking into the deeper dimensions of the body, mind and spirit.
Yoga for a Perfect Posture
Due to sedentary lifestyles and poor habits in daily activities, many western
people tend to have poor posture, exhibiting the traits of kyphosis, an excessively rounded upper spine, and
lordosis, an excessively arched lower back. Because of its emphasis on proper posture, yoga can help reverse abnormal curves in the spine, correcting both the
hunchback curve that occurs in postural kyphosis and the
swayback curve that occurs in postural lordosis. And since posture has been found to affect every system in the body, yogas efficacy in creating optimal spinal alignment will also improve ones overall health and well-being.

Iyengar / Restorative
Iyengar or Restorative Yoga was created to prevent the pain or injury that can result from students straining in a yoga pose. This style of yoga uses props, such as a chair, block, blanket and belt or strap, so that the student can practice without the risk of pain or injury. This type of yoga is slow paced and poses are often held for long periods of time, making it ideal for helping people recover from injury, illness or stress. It can be a very powerful tool in helping to reduce stress and restore health. Restorative yoga is synonymous to
active relaxation. The body is supported by props so that it can be stimulated and relaxed, helping it to move toward balance. The development of restorative yoga is credited to B.K.S. Iyengar, of Pune, India. Author of the contemporary classic
Light on Yoga and numerous other books, Iyengar has been teaching yoga for more than sixty years. Widely recognized as a worldwide authority, he is one of the most creative teachers of yoga today.
When the asana is correct there is a lightness, a freedom.
Freedom comes when every part of the body is active.
Let us be free in whatever posture we are doing.
Let us be full in whatever we do.
