Yoga – A Peaceful Path to Well-Being
The word, yoga, actually means union. And for thousands of years, that is exactly how it has been used – to bring the body, mind and spirit of its practitioners into complete harmony.
One of yoga’s greatest selling points is that it’s a form of exercise that virtually everyone can practice, regardless of age or fitness level. Invariably those who regularly practice yoga soon benefit from better balance, stronger muscles, more flexibility and a deeper sense of well being.
At St. Elizabeth, all of our yoga classes are led by certified yoga instructors. The benefits participants realize include:
- Reduced stress
- Improved circulation
- Diminished arthritis pain and stiffness
- Increased concentration ability
- More conditioned bodies
