Yoga is the best all round exercise you can give yourselves; YOGA WARRIOR in Johannesburg, South Africa, is a juicy blend of athletically challenging poses and does not include heat (you will create your own core body heat to enhance your practice). It is practiced through asanas or poses which are capable of creating a vigorous body, well-functioning inner organs and an alert mind. Classical yoga is a philosophical system that has its roots in India. Yoga is a Sanskrit word, the scriptural language of ancient India. Yoga binds together the body, mind and spirit; it draws all aspects of self into harmony. The body and mind are strengthened by combining yoga poses, with yogic breathing techniques, pranayama. Holding the poses we learn to link the mind's intentions with the body's movements and the breath. Even introducing yoga into life on just a weekly basis offers a respite to free the mind and body from stress, releasing blockages in the muscular, nervous and glandular systems. From an athlete's perspective, hard training can give you a well muscled body but it can lead to tightness and inflexibility unless regular stretching like yoga is included.
