About Yoga in Lakewood CO

Yoga is an ancient practice that originated in India. Yoga is a Sanskrit word that means "yoke" or "union". To yoke means to draw together or unite. The focus is to yoke or create a union of the body, mind and spirit. This process of uniting the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of ourselves is what facilitates the yogic experience of freedom, peace and self-realization.

Yoga is a system of ancient practices that have been passed down from teacher to student. Yoga uses breathing practices (pranayama), movement/postures (asana), relaxation, chanting (mantra) and other meditation techniques (dyana). There are many different styles of yoga. Anjli focuses on Hatha yoga which is a slower practice to allow time to improve alignment, incorporate breath and experience the benefits of each pose.
