The Power Of Yoga

Every saturday, i'm attending yoga class. It's like healing after a week full with stress.
So now i'm going to talk bit bout yoga.

Yoga (Devanagari) is a group of ancient spiritual practices originating in India.
As a general term in Hinduism[1] it has been defined as referring to "technologies or
disciplines of asceticism and meditation which are thought to lead to spiritual experience
and profound understanding or insight into the nature of existence."[2] Outside India,
Yoga has become primarily associated with the practice of asanas (postures) of
Hatha Yoga (see Yoga as exercise), although it has influenced the entire dharmic religions
family and other spiritual practices throughout the world.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoga)


My instructure said yoga is combaining betwen body strength and body flexibility.
Believe me after you practicing yoga you'll be able to do some acrobatic pose. And when you
practicing yoga you cant push your self , you must follow your body strength. And believe me
