Yoga is a vast collection of spiritual techniques and
practices all aimed at integrating mind, body and spirit.
Yoga is not a religion but a spiritual practice that
does not require any specific belief system to participate.
The philosophies of yoga are universal. The practice
of Yoga strives for the union of mind-body-spirit though
body postures, breathing techniques, and internal cleansing.
The benefits of yoga are numerous:
Relaxation:
Yoga exercises, such as gentle stretching, breathing,
meditation and guided relaxation, release body tension
and calm the nervous system and emotions.
Concentration:
Aware, conscious movement encourages focus, attention
and concentration. The practice of balancing postures
builds concentration.
Tone:
Holding yoga postures creates isometric exercise which
tones every part of the body including the internal organs.
Increase Circulation:
Yoga exercises the endocrine system bringing healing
energies to glands and other internal organs. The postures
plus yogic massage increase circulation to stimulate
the body and to eliminate toxins from the body.
Flexibility:
Yoga postures gently stretch the muscles in the body,
increasing the flexibility and lengthening the muscles,
tendons and ligaments.
Energy:
Slow, gentle movements with deep breathing energize the
body rather than tire it. This allows daily renewal of
the body-mind-spirit.

Preparing, cooking and eating Indian food is a festival
for the senses. There are brilliant spices, vegetables
and other delicacies for the eyes, rich aromas for the
nose, subtle to fiery flavors for the tongue and even
tactile pleasure from the custom of eating with your
fingers (not required!).
There are also many nutritional benefits in the Indian
diet. The staples of Indian cuisine include foods recommended
by health professionals to prevent heart disease, obesity,
cancer, diabetes and stroke. And common dishes are
not only nutrient packed, they are also inexpensive.
