Yoga builds strength, balance, and flexibility, that can be maintained throughout all life stages, precisely because it honors where a person is at this present moment. It complements and supports other sports or physical challenges, gently, respectfully, filling in the gaps and rehabilitating injuries that are missed in other endeavors. It challenges but respects all levels without judgment.

Yoga helps to bring mindfulness to our bodies in a way that is generally not taught in our culture. If we learn to listen to the body, it teaches us to be aware of how different muscles work, which aids in the release of tension and helps to avoid injury. Techniques for reducing stress such as breath work and stretching, stilling the mind if possible, can be applied to daily living, leading to decreased stress and re-activeness.

Certainly, it is necessary to find a teacher that is knowledgeable of the various aspects of yoga and the body, who can speak comfortably and kindly, and who creates a nurturing atmosphere. Yoga can reach a person at whatever level they are at, helping to gain stillness and calm, overcome emotional barriers, and attain greater physical fitness.
