Yoga - the power of the senses

Yoga has been developed over many thousands of years in India. Yoga means bringing body and mind into harmony. How does yoga work? Through various physical exercises (asanas), breathing (pranayama) and meditation, concentration is directed to one's own body and mind. All yoga exercises are based on stretching, relaxation and improvement of the blood circulation. The spine is constantly stretched and back muscles build up. Targeted breathing exercises bring back the energy of life. In addition, the exercises call for concentration and emotional balance. Thus, yoga promotes physical health with the excellent preventive effect for back, skeletal muscle, respiratory, circulatory and metabolic functions as well as stress regulation. The exercises are performed with numerous tools such as belts, yoga rolls, yoga chairs and cork blocks
