Four Reasons to do Yoga
- To help the body heal from injury or illness
- To gain strength, flexibility and balance
- To decrease stress and nurture a calm, inner peace
- To reinforce the spiritual dimension of life
To help the body heal
Many people begin yoga practice because they are ready to heal themselves physically and to experience peace in their lives. To help the body, Downtown Yoga works every muscle, tendon, joint, ligament, internal organ and gland while systematically moving fresh oxygenated blood to 100% of the body. After a few sessions, you be working on eliminating conditions of stress and injury produced by fast paced lifestyles.
The human body consists of more than its anatomical parts. To maintain optimal conditions for healing, and to avoid arthritis and other conditions aggravated by a loss of muscle tone, our bodies need stretching and movement. Much pain originates in a spine compressed by repetitive stress or years of incorrect posture.

Regular yoga practice retrains the body on a cellular level, releasing negative habits that result in stress, fear, and doubt. With patience and sensitivity, the musculo-skeletal system adjusts and realigns itself to habits that lead to harmony and joy.
