What are the benefits of Yoga?

Yoga has many benefits that everyone may enjoy! The physical benefits may be increased flexibility, strength, balance and power. Emotional benefits may be a release of stress, gaining a sense of inner peace, and enjoying a calm and centered being. One may also gain a greater awareness of self and the ability to be present in the moment. Once you begin the practice of yoga, you may notice a difference in the way you breathe, stand, walk and experience everyday activities.
