Yoga has become widely accepted in the medical profession as an adjunct to traditional medical treatment. Studies and clinical trials have shown that yoga is effective in relieving stress, insomnia and pain for a number of medical conditions, including cancer, cardiac conditions, fibromyalgia and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Yoga does far more than get you relaxed and help your body-mind become stronger and more flexible. We do it without striving and without forcing. Instead, we practice accepting our body as we find it, in the present, from one moment to the next. While stretching, strengthening, or balancing we move one breath at a time, playing and discovering our edge, and maintaining moment-to-moment awareness and integration.
