1. Today, lets focus on a yoga exercise...the tree pose. Stand up straight. Arms in prayer position. Bring the right leg up. The goal is for the right foot to be pressed against the left inner thigh. Hold this position. Then, lift arms over head towards the sky and hold again. Switch legs and repeat. This yoga workout increases stamina and strength in each leg. Don't give up!

The Basics of Yoga & Its Benefits

Yoga is more than just an exercise program. It is an ancient way of life that helps create a healthy mind and body through physical exercise, mental discipline and meditation.

Origin

Yoga originated in India in 3000 B.C. as a spiritual discipline meant to join the individual self with the divine or cosmic consciousness. Yoga masters, called yogis, originally developed yoga's mental and physical exercise to further this goal. Yoga came to America in the late 19th century but didn't become truly popular until the 1960s.

Features

Yoga's physical exercises, called asanas, keep the spine supple, tone the body and promote blood flow to the glands, tissues and organs. Yoga meditation helps discipline, calm and clarify the mind.

Benefits

Yoga helps alleviate symptoms from a variety of health issues including constipation, carpal tunnel syndrome, high cholesterol, multiple sclerosis, high blood pressure, diabetes and menopause. Yoga is also low-impact exercise that provides physical benefits, such as decreasing stress, increasing wellness and improving stamina.
