The word yoga means "union" in Sanskrit, the language of ancient India where yoga originated.  One can think of the union occurring between the mind, body, and spirit.  What is commonly referred to as "yoga" can be more accurately described by the Sanskrit word asana, which refers to the practice of physical postures or poses.  Asana is only one of the eight "limbs" of yoga, the majority of which are more concerned with mental and spiritual well being than physical activity.   For those who are more advanced in the practice of yoga, additional instruction will allow you to enjoy the sessions with those less advanced.  (12 contact hours)
