	Yoga, which means "union" or "harmony," is both a philosophical system and a science whose goal is the attainment of self awareness. Evidence of yoga has been found in the Indus Valley civilization of 2,000-4,000 B.C., yet yoga is not outdated. It has tremendous value for the modern world in its role as a vehicle for self understanding through physical movement, breathing and meditation. Relaxation Yoga exercises, such as gentle stretching, breathing, meditation and guided relaxation, release body tension and calm the nervous system and emotions. Concentration Focus, attention and concentration are promoted by a yoga practice of mindful movement and body awareness. The practice of balancing postures, in particular, builds concentration. Toning Holding yoga postures creates isometric exercise which tones every part of the body, including the internal organs. Healing Yoga exercises the glands, organs and endocrine system, massaging, toning and increasing circulation to stimulate, heal, and eliminate toxins from the body. Flexibility Yoga postures gently stretch the muscles in the body, increasing the flexibility and lengthening the muscles, tendons and ligaments. Nourishing Slow, gentle movements with deep breathing energize the body rather than tire it. This, in combination with yoga’s relaxation and healing benefits, allows daily renewal and nourishment of the body-mind-spirit.
