"The word yoga means, literally, 'to yoke or join.' In the practice of yoga, we join and integrate mind, body, and spirit into one aligned cohesive unit. The body is the gross manifestation of spirit. Working with the body through yoga connects you with spirit, while unraveling the emotional, physical, and mental knots that bind you and blind you from your true nature. The process allows your essence to shine through and illuminate your entire being. It is a catalyst enabling you to grow in whatever way is natural and self-affirming."
