Yoga is a Science
The science of yoga allows us to ‘yoke’ the mind and body to control physical functions such as blood pressure, heart rate, breathing, metabolism, body temperature and brain waves. This promotes the freer flow of oxygen and prana (life force, chi), and manifests in ways like improved physical fitness, lower levels of stress, management of pain, relaxation and awareness of spirit.
