It’s a Yoga, a Sanskrit word often interpreted as "union with spirit," is a 5,000- year-old ancient art form originated in India. It is a tradition of spiritual, mental, and physical teaching that helps to rejuvenate the spirit, awaken the mind, and nourish the body. The postures offer mental relaxation, concentra- tion and inner harmony in addition to increasing strength, balance and flex- ibility. Each of the six major yogic paths offers different methods to achieve its ends: hatha yoga for example employs physical postures to purify the body for meditation while raja yoga uses meditation techniques to quiet the body and mind by directing the life energy inward, gradually bringing an inner awakening and attunement with the divine. Yoga was introduced in the United Stated 100 years ago. One of the most popular styles taught is hatha yoga, the practice of harmonizing the body’s inner currents until they are in perfect balance. In Sanskrit, “ha” means sun, “tha” means moon. When practicing yoga, it is important to concentrate on the breathing. Awareness of breathing purifies breathing channels and allows a person to be more alert and relaxed in stressful situations. Several stretches, including palm and feet, double angle, and triangle stretches can improve blood and oxygen circulation, which allows a person to be more focused and able to concentrate clearly. The ancient technique has been shown to aid in the treatment of condi- tions such as cancer, sleep disorders, headaches, depression, chronic pain, high blood pressure and aging. Nancy Rosenberg fell in love with yoga from the first class she attended 10 years ago. She gave up personal training and aerobics and concentrated on yoga, particularly hatha yoga. She said her fitness level improved because of the flexibility that yoga entails. Certified last year, Rosenberg has been a yoga motion instructor at CSUF since March. When she is not practicing or teaching yoga, Rosenberg works as a flight attendant for United Airlines. She is also an active student of Tai Chi. Yoga can be practiced by anyone. Rosenberg said she has students of all ages and even a student who has multiple sclerosis. To accommodate them, she uses chairs during the class. "It’s not embarrassing or awkward for them because it’s the same move- ment, but it’s just a modification meaning they’re sitting on the edge of the chair and extending their arms up instead of maybe standing or coming to fuller pose. They just come down with their hands on their knees and their head into their lap," she said.
