I love Yoga! I love taking my body places I never imagined it could go. I love the feeling of wellness that envelops me as I practice. I love the serenity that comes to me as well. Yoga is derived from the sanskrit root yuj meaning union. In yogic terminology, this union connotes the union of one’s soul with the Supreme Soul or the Supreme Power called God.
