WHAT IS YOGA?
Yoga is understood by many people to be a rather exotic style of physical training with perhaps a bit of meditation. Physical training is only one of Yoga's many forms. There is a great variety of approaches, methods, and great number of schools. It is important not to limit ones understanding of yoga to just one or two the better known practices. Literally yoga means “to unite” depending upon the school and it's philosophy. The meaning of “to unite” is interpreted differently but the most common meaning is unification of body and mind. Yoga is method of physical healing and spiritual development.

ZEN YOGA
This style of yoga emphasizes healing through movement. It is the discipline of bringing the body to a balanced state by using a wide variety of body postures, breathing exercises, massage and Buddhist meditation.
There are three ways in which Zen Yoga affects the body:
~Rhythmical repetition of movements develops awareness of the body in motion
~Holding poses deeply effects internal organs
~Energetic exercises help aid the body in attaining a balanced circulation of energy

Correct and full breathing is essential to good health. It energizes and invigorates the body while also helping to calm the mind.
Zen Yoga uses body movement to promote deeper and fuller respiration and helps to develop a better awareness of correct breathing.

WHAT IS MEDITATION?
Meditation is a method of mental training through which we learn to attend to the present, here and now. Our minds are continually looking to what has been or what could be but we are rarely in the present. Yoga itself is a meditation in movement, because we are concentrating on trying to do the poses and movements correctly and follow them with the correct deep breathing. There is also a sitting meditation when the body is completely still and without attempt to control the breathing pattern; one is mentally aware of the natural rhythm of the breath. Any thoughts that arise during meditation we let go of and then return our focus gently back to the breath.

YOGA FOR CHILDREN
Yoga is a great way for children to develop strong, flexible, healthy body and mind. Improves their concentration and attention; and cultivates overall sense of well being.
