Yoga Basics

    What is Yoga about?

    Yoga is an Indian philosophic theory, which consists of several different mental and physical exercises. The roots of yoga lie in India, dating back more than 6.000 years.

    Yoga can be considered as a spiritual path, which can take one to a higher spiritual or religious stadium. Today yoga is commonly practices as a relaxation and fitness technique. A sequence of physical exercises and figures, breathing exercises and meditation aim to reduce stress, to relax and to improve coordination and agility of the body.

    Yoga means, among other things, “unity” and refers to the interaction of body, mind and soul. Yoga is one of the six classical schools of Indian philosophy and means:
    We train our bodies holistically!

    A major advantage of yoga is that you get through regular practice a strong physical and mental equilibrium. Practicing twice a day you will soon feel amazingly well and blissed!
    This balance and strength is not only important to prevent injuries or illnesses, but also to improve the existing body sensation, physical and mental fitness as well as your own performance.
