Welcome, Yogi

The word Yoga is derived from a Sanskrit word meaning to unite. The practice of Yoga leads to the union of individual consciousness with that of the Universal Consciousness, bringing mind & body into perfect harmony.
Union With Yoga is a compassionate and inclusive space for you to unite with yourself, with a loving community, and with a greater consciousness.
Welcome to Union With Yoga, a garden for you to cultivate your wholeness.
What is Yoga?
Yoga is an ancient practice originating in India that comprises eight limbs.
In the contemporary Western tradition, we tend to only think of the movement-based practice of yoga - the asanas.
However, there are seven other branches of the practice, including breathwork, meditation, and even our attitude towards ourselves and others.

Benefits of Yoga
#1 Improves Flexibility
Almost all yoga positions stretch your body in some way, lengthening the muscles and tendons, as well as widening the range of motion in your joints. Beginner practitioners often feel inadequate or unwelcome due to their lack of flexibility, but this should not be a reason to prevent you from trying yoga. In fact, if you think you lack flexibility, yoga is the perfect activity for you!
#2 Builds Strength
Yoga is a gentle way to build strength in your entire body. A regular yoga practice of even 20 minutes can increase strength in your arms, legs, and core, without the hard impact on the joints that you might feel from other sports or types of exercise. Not everyone comes to yoga to build strength, and luckily there is a wide range of styles to choose from - some soft and restorative, and others quite physically demanding.
#3 Encourages Self-Care
All exercise and movement is a form of self-care, and will likely impact your lifestyle positively. Yoga is even more powerful as a tool for personal well being because it incorporates meditation and breathwork into the physical practice. This helps quiet the mind, connect the breath and body, and ground the practitioner in the present moment. All of these factors combined can bring a greater feeling of inner-peace.
#4 Supports Mental Health
When the mind is stilled and the body relaxed, ruminating thoughts are less likely to occur, alleviating anxious or depressive thoughts. Additionally, yoga increases concentration and focus, as well as strengthens memory. Emotional well being and improved cognitive function are both possible thanks to the meditation and mindfulness aspects of yoga.
#5 Boosts Immunity
Another benefit of the calming effect of yoga is a stronger immune system. When stress hormones are lowered, and circulation increased in your respiratory, cardiovascular, and lymphatic systems, your immunity enjoys a boost. While it can’t guarantee a cure, yoga is a proven way to prevent disease.
