People are drawn to yoga in the first place because of its body composition, and because they want to stay in shape, look good, and be strong is definitely the number one reason for interest.

Most people practice martial arts with the goal of dissolving the ego and recognizing who they are when they are in conflict. However, some realize that with this yoga practice, you can achieve the same peace and serenity…that takes years to gain from practicing martial arts. In a few sessions, they’ll experience it and understand that it’s not just about physical fitness – it’s the extra capacity found in the mind and body that feels great.
Our fears, hopelessness, and self-doubt are actually spiritual creations…always have been…but not rooted in reality. Yoga helps to tone down these thoughts.
