Some people have various reasons for wanting to try yoga as their regular exercise routine. Some practice for the meditation benefits, while others reap the health benefits yoga has to offer. Here is what some people have to say about their experiences with yoga…

I am quite new to yoga. At first I thought it was nothing but stretching, but after a few classes, I realized that it was more than that. In the last semester, I have built strength in my upper and lower body, even lost a few inches! And we all know girls love losing weight! I am glad I decided to take the class on campus, and am definitely looking forward to practicing in my future!

I have been a yogi for about 6 years now. Like many people I know, I discovered it in college when I took the class for p.e. credit. I fell in love with it right away. I would have never guessed that I would be able to build the strength that I have built over the years. I mostly use it for meditation, meditating for about an hour every day. It has helped me so much when it comes to stress and has definitely sped up my metabolism. I have dedicated my life to it, and am hopefully starting my own yoga school to teach others how wonderful yoga is and how it can benefit them with their lives.
