Yoga asana is the practice of physical postures that help build strength, flexibility, and balance while connecting movement with breath.
It’s a way to move the body mindfully, and is a piece of the broader yoga practice that includes breathing techniques and meditation.

Yoga enhances your body’s mobility by targeting stiffness in joints and improving muscle flexibility. It also builds functional strength, focusing on the muscles you rely on for everyday activities. Regular practice improves balance, coordination, and posture.
Mental Health
Beyond the physical benefits, yoga can significantly impact mental health. Joining mindful movement and breathwork has been shown to lower stress levels, improve focus, and promote better sleep.
Yoga meets you where you are (no matter your flexibility) and helps you stay mobile, strong, and relaxed.
