Yoga postures are based on the simple principles of stretching, strengthening, bending, rotating, and relaxing. These movements have an effect on all of the body’s systems and can be used to directly stimulate or pacify specific parts of the body. This approach is holistic and can be used to awaken and strengthen each organ, bone and cell, bringing relief to some common ailments.
