Wellness Through Yoga

Breathe life-giving prana into every part of your body, helping to open it more fully through breath and movement. Become brighter and more radiant by integrating your breath with a series of bends and stretches until you feel your own inner light and sense of fullness. This sequence is a perfect warm-up for the two that follow or it can be practiced alone.

Cultivate confidence by stretching and further toning your body: hugging muscle to bone. Twisting, standing and lunging poses develop deep core strength. Legs, thighs and hamstrings are all worked to encourage weight loss in hard-to-reach places. These poses result in an enhanced sense of confidence and of inner and outer strength.

With freedom as your theme, become centered in your heart and open up your hips and shoulders. Backbends allow your body to express and demonstrate its inner freedom, while sitting, lunging and supine twists engender greater flexibility and renewed beauty, while eliminating fat and flab. Finish your workout with a period of perfect and absolute relaxation.
