HATHA YOGA

Hatha Yoga puts the responsibility for health and the means for attaining it into your own hands.  The body is an inter-relationship of ten, equally vital systems.  The practice of Yoga asanas, (or postures), ensures the healthy, balanced functioning of these ten systems.

1. The Skeletal System.  Science has shown that even the bones increase in strength through use.  The asanas move each joint to it's limit every day.
2. The Muscular System.  Efficient muscles are long, free of stored tensions and possess good tone.  The mental stress stored in the muscles is removed through the practice of the postures and correct breathing. When every muscle is stretched to capacity each day, the accumulated tension, tightness and shortening are counteracted and the body retains its suppleness.
3. The Circulatory System.  Although an adult's heart weighs less than a pound, it pumps 2,000 gallons of blood each day (50 million gallons over a lifetime) through 100,000 miles of blood vessels!  The Yogic postures increase the flow of blood to specific areas of the body so that all parts are nourished in turn.
4. The Nervous System.  The asanas keep the spine flexible so there is no impingement on the nerves.  Blood and energy are directed to specific nerve plexi in various poses.
5. The Digestive System.  Certain postures stimulate the digestive system, relieve pressure on the nerves associated with digestion, alleviate internal congestion and promote good assimilation.
6. The Eliminative System.  Yogic techniques help cleanse the intestinal tract, stimulate peristalsis, help cleanse the kidneys and skin and promote proper elimination.
7. The Respiratory System.  Senility, poor concentration and mental fatigue can be caused by lack of oxygen in the brain cells.  Deep breathing in the postures cleanses the lungs and stimulates the cardiovascular system.  The Yogi develops a strong respiratory system, a strong breath and a powerful life-force.
8. The Endocrine System.  The glands regulate the body's metabolism and vital functions.  Certain postures balance specific glands, such as the pituitary and pineal in the Head Stand and the thyroid and parathyroid in the Shoulder Stand.
9. The Pranic System.   Prana is the life-force and basis of Yoga practices.  Through Yogic breathing and postures one can have a direct experience of this energy and connect with its abundance.
10. The Mental System.  The correct practice of Yoga produces mental clarity and a quality of attention that pervades the whole body. This understanding is the fruit of self-observation and inquiry, the purpose of Yoga.
