Yoga

Yoga is a complete science of life that originated in India many thousands of years ago. The ancient yogis understood man's essential nature and how to live in harmony with oneself and one's environment. Yoga balances and strengthens the body, mind and the soul. It shows the way to perfect physical health and taking into account the interrelationship between body and mind, it also ensures peace of mind, through asanas (postures), pranayama (breathing techniques) and meditation.

Regular practice of yoga has the following benefits: a fit and beautiful body that is youthful in every stage of life, a stress-free lifestyle with increased concentration and alertness, lowered blood pressure, relief from back and joint pain.

For dancers and sportsmen, yoga is extremely useful as it increases muscle tone and flexibility. Realizing this, Shoba has worked with leading yoga practitioners in India to develop a curriculum suitable for dancers and for people from all walks of life. Yoga classes are offered at convenient times throughout the week. Call the center at (630) 527-1498 for further information.
