Recently our 7th and 8th graders were introduced to some basic yoga stretches and moves by Miss Rauland’s brother. The students had a good time and learned some very interesting things about yoga and the benefits it can have on your body.
What is Yoga?
Yoga can be dated back to 400 B.C. and originated in ancient India. It focuses on the physical, mental and spiritual disciplines of the body. Hindu monks brought yoga to the West in the late 19th century, and it became popular as a form of healthy exercise in the 1980’s.
Modern yoga as people call it in the Western World, focuses on reducing stress, flexibility, proper blood flow and overall relaxation. Yoga is a lifetime activity and can be done by people of all ages.
