YOGA, Y’ALL

Yoga is not only a physical practice.  Classically, yoga is an “eight-limbed” practice – only one of which is physical yoga postures.  Boiled down, the remaining seven limbs involve various aspects of meditation and the development of a personal code of ethics for living our lives.  Because yoga takes a more complete view of our overall health and wellbeing, it can be considered a “wholistic” practice.
