Yoga is a gentle way to stretch and awaken
your body
- Improves posture
- Improves breathing
- Helps to learn how to release tension as
it arises in life.
"You are never too old (or too young)"
to do yoga. Remember that your body did not become inflexible
immediately, so it will not reverse immediately. Every human body is
different has different movements that are easier to do, different
areas of the body that are tight or flexible. Therefore, you have to
listen to "your" body and learn what "your"
body is saying. You can not compare your body or movements to other
bodies.
Yoga On The Go classes are held in Bastrop and Elgin,
Texas. Instructor, Ruth Jansa, teaches Hatha Yoga, one of the most
commonly practiced type of yoga in the Western Hemisphere. Hatha Yoga's
main theme is maintaining the health and integrity of the spine.
Hatha Yoga is for the gentle stretching of the body. It awakens the
body by moving each joint in the body through its full range of motion
- stretching, strengthening, and balancing each part. This consists of
forward bends, backbends, twists, inversions, standing, and balancing
poses as well as relaxation and breathing techniques.
These movements; along with the conscious use of the breath, removes
stiffness and tension from the body. Poses were developed to improve
posture, promote health, and increase vitality and energy.
