The Health Connexion YOGA

As variety is the spice of life, yoga is the spice of exercise.

At Pilates Health Connexion we are proud to be able to offer a variety of exercises to give the body a balanced wholesome workout.

Yoga, a thousand year old exercise and meditation method has many benefits. It can improve flexibility, strength, balance, and stamina. In addition, many people who practice yoga say that it reduces anxiety and stress, improves mental clarity, and even helps them sleep better.

Although yoga includes physical exercise, it is also a lifestyle practice for which exercise is just one component. Training your mind, body, and breath, as well as connecting with your spirituality, are the main goals of the yoga lifestyle.
