YOGA

Picture
Yoga is an ancient practice that originated in India and uses breathing techniques, simple meditation and physical postures (asanas) to quiet the mind and relax the body. 

A regular yoga practice has been proven to:
  • Reduce Stress and Anxiety
  • Alleviate Symptoms of Depression
  • Lower Cortisol Levels (The hormone associated with weight gain.)
  • Reduce High Blood Pressure
  • Lower Risk of Heart Disease
  • Support Healthy Lymphatic Function

Most of the classes we teach at energy fall under the umbrellas of Hatha and Vinyasa yoga, but our teachers draw from diverse backgrounds in Ashtanga, Iyengar, Bikram and more.
