Yoga is a philosophy and a science and not a religion. Yoga teaches moral codes for treating oneself and others, how to keep your body, mind and spirit in a healthy optimum working order, how to increase energy and focus through breathing techniques, how to calm the mind and self-regulate through mindful practices and how to transform your life through meditation and the necessary steps needed for a true and powerful meditational experiences that impact every single aspect of your life and the way you lead it.
