CALENDAR OF EVENTS

When most people hear "Yoga," they think of aerobic exercise, only recognizing the physical aspect of yoga. However, yoga has its origins in Hinduism and includes a wide range of practices to nurture the mind, spirit, and body, focusing on wellness of the entire person. This conference will contain workshops on devotional practice, healthy eating/living tips, meditation, simple yoga postures you can do everyday, and philosophical discussions to provide you with tools for a healthy and spiritually aware lifestyle. All are Welcome!
