A typical yoga session will begin in lotus pose with a few minutes of relaxation and breathing exercises to prepare the student mentally and physically for the more demanding asanas (poses) and vinyasa (flow between poses) that follow. The majority of the class is spent performing asanas to increase strength, flexibility and balance
The certified Yoga professional will assess the students' capabilities and modifies the flow or gives hands on modifications to the poses to enhance training/safety. After the asanas, a few minutes are spent working on abdominal muscles and stretching. The last few minutes of every class are spent in savasana (corpse pose) to slow the heart rate, calm the mind, and prepare the student to enter the world refreshed

But these enormous physical benefits are just a “side effect” of this powerful practice. What yoga does is harmonize the mind with the body and this results in real quantum benefits. It is now an open secret that the will of the mind has enabled people to achieve extraordinary physical feats, which proves beyond doubt the mind and body connection.
Yoga through meditation works remarkably to achieve this harmony and helps the mind work in sync with the body. How often do we find that we are unable to perform our activities properly and in a satisfying manner because of the confusions and conflicts in our mind weigh down heavily upon us? Moreover, stress which in reality is the #1 killer affecting all parts of our physical, endocrinal and emotional systems can be corrected through the wonderful yoga practice of meditation.
