Although these alone are great benefits, soon after finding a teacher they connect with, yoga becomes so much more. Often times, yoga students talk about the first “ah-ha” moment they had on the mat. This new found clarity within knowledge helps us understand what helps our body and mind and what hinders it.

Realize your unlimited potential We need to realize our unlimited potential, find appre- ciation, and allow joy to be attainable in this life. Awareness is developed in practicing yoga and is often taken into your daily life.

Making your way to the mat Awareness is just one aspect of yoga. There are many other benefits to be seen. Please know that yoga can be practiced at any level, from therapeutics to power yoga. It’s not about getting into a pretzel-like move and it’s not about asking you to change your religion. It’s a practice that meets you where you are at the moment. It may be just what you needed.
