The Benefits of Yoga

Excellent toning of the muscles
Muscles that have become flaccid or weak are stimulated repeatedly to shed excess flab and flaccidity.

Increasing lubrication of the joints, ligaments & tendons
Likewise, the well - researched yoga positions exercise the different tendons and ligaments of the body. Surprisingly it has been found that the body which may have been quite rigid starts experiencing a remarkable flexibility in even those parts which have not been consciously worked upon. Seemingly unrelated “non strenuous” yoga positions act upon certain parts of the body in an interrelated manner. When done together, they work in harmony to create a situation where flexibility is attained relatively easily.

Increasing body awareness
One of the far-reaching benefits of yoga is the uncanny sense of awareness that it develops in the practitioner of an impending health disorder or infection. This in turn enables the person to take pre-emptive corrective action.

Massaging of all organs and structures of the body
Yoga is perhaps the only form of activity which massages all the internal glands and organs of the body in a thorough manner, including those – such as the prostate - that hardly get externally stimulated during our entire lifetime. Yoga acts in a wholesome manner on the various body parts. This stimulation and massage of the organs in turn benefits us by keeping away disease and providing a forewarning at the first possible instance of a likely onset of disease or disorder.

Complete Detoxification
By gently stretching muscles and joints as well as massaging the various organs, yoga ensures the optimum blood supply to various parts of the body. This helps in the flushing out of toxins from every nook and cranny as well as providing nourishment up to the last point. This leads to benefits such as delayed ageing, energy and a remarkable zest for life.

Yoga Therapeutics

Before we can even begin to heal, we have to reduce the stress load that our body carries every day so we have energy for the healing process. Yoga is the best way to do this by opening our body, forcing us to breathe at a pace that is the essence of relaxation and allowing our body's fluids to move unrestricted to every cell and tissue.

Every day we spend hours in cramped, repetitive body positions... over the computer, behind the wheel, on the phone. We use the same muscles in the same patterns day in and day out. Even exercise tends to increase muscle tension and tone. There are only a few things that can restore the natural space of the body. That alone can reduce pain and eliminate many body symptoms, helping to make medication and surgery unnecessary.

The word YOGA is derived from the Sanskrit root Yog meaning to bind, to connect, to join, attach and yoke. It thus means a union or communion of the soul to God. Yoga is a complete science of the human being. It takes into account the physical, spiritual and metaphysical aspects of man.

Practiced for more than 5,000 years, yoga is one of the oldest forms of healing therapy. Yoga was developed and perfected over the centuries by philosophers and mystics in India. It is basically a method by which we increase the body's supply of energy and remove any interference to the transmission of energy throughout the body. Yoga has specialized in this subject for thousands of years, and streamlined the methods to attain this aim.

Yoga at ISIS is private and confidential. Instead of large impersonal classes, we offer yoga as a therapy on an individual basis making the yoga experience a direct benefit for your individual needs. This allows yoga to work with your body at your own pace, focusing on specific postures and poses that open your body's restricted areas. This makes yoga a daily practice that benefits you and only you. It quiets the mind and brings your energy inward to direct your own healing process.

Make a space in your day to support your body physically, spiritually and emotionally. Yoga can make the difference between feeling good and feeling great. All you need is a body and an open mind ... we will do the rest.
