Yoga
Yoga creates an opening of a closer relationship to your body, self and soul.
Yoga helps you to better hear and understand its communication with you.
To unite; mind, body and soul. Yoga is creating a union and harmony in-between these aspects of who you partially are.
Only to mention a few, the practice creates the foundation to make:
- the parts more coherent and in synch with each other
- we want to express and communicate our lives in the same way that we live and feel on our inside
- a sense of authenticity of who you are as a person.
Yoga works deeply in your hormone system through the glands. The asanas (the yoga positions), are customized to normalize and balance the secretion of the hormones from the glands, which are all connected to the eight chakras.
The importance of breathing

It also gives focus to the pace, the amount, specifically which areas you need to raise or lower the energy etc.
This is how yoga has been practicing traditionally since thousands of years. As a daily practice to create a strong body and a quiet mind, to be able to sit comfortably in meditation to visit the higher realms. To connect with more dimensions of who you are. Find your form.
