The Practice of Yoga
There are two unique components in yoga—the philosophy and the practice. These two create a powerful interplay, with each informing and refining the other, to forge a unity of body-mind-spirt. Both the practice and philosophy of yoga have a long history and a rich depth of knowledge and are both essential aspects to examine and investigate. In our yoga practice section we primarily focus on the techniques and practices of hatha yoga, the physical or forceful path of yoga.
