in #exercise7 years ago

The Yoga philosophy, though thousands of years old, has been found to fill the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of man better than any known doctrine. It is practiced throughout the world by people of all ages and in all walks of life, it is taught today as it was taught centuries ago, it fits readily into almost every lifestyle.

This program is a basic course in two aspects of Yoga: Hatha Yoga and Yoga nutrition. To increase the resultant benefits-practice both the Yoga postures and the Yoga nutrition. Yoga give you emotional support, physical improvement and spiritual development.

Yoga has been of immeasurable benefit to me, and it pleases me to know that you are interested in Yoga. I extend to you my sincerest wishes for your health and peace of mind and i leave you with the thought that no one can give you health or peace but you, yourself. Your practice of Yoga will be, perhaps, the most decisive step you will take toward these goals.
