The practice of Yoga provides mental peace and at the same time, a consciousness of one's own body. Certain postures develop suppleness and balance, others strengthen muscles.

The word Yoga means to join or to unite. It is the means by which our mind can be made still, quiet, and free from all distractions.

The body is the house in which the heart and mind are reunited. When we practice Yoga, we try to bring together the light of our heart and the light of our mind to make them one.
