Anyone into yoga? Certainly there are at least a few people over here at Rosemont who either practice it or are interested in learning more.

Yoga, which means “to unite” in Sanskrit, promotes awareness of the body’s physical and mental partnership. It is a holistic approach that intimately relates the mind, body, breath and spirit as a working totality. Understanding their correlation leads to a connection with universal life energy. The clarity that follows this practice paves the path towards emotional, physical and spiritual development. – The Open Mind Center (Roswell, GA)

Over recent years, it’s popularity within the Unites States has grown at a rapid pace.  I guess more and more people, both men and women, are realizing that there is a real benefit to a strong mind-body connection.

Now there are different styles of yoga that have become popular, each with it’s own specialized benefits.  Hatha, Bikram, Kundalini and Svaroopa are a few.  I believe Hatha is the most popular.  I’m just starting to learn more about yoga myself, so I’m not exactly sure how the styles differ.

There is actually a Hatha yoga class that starts on August 12 here in Roswell.  The class is called “Hot Yoga” because they keep the room temperature between 90F – 105F!  Interested?  You can drop in on a class at The Open Mind Center (1575 Old Alabama Rd., Suite 213) on Thursdays from 6:00 p.m. – 7:30-p.m. and Saturdays from 4:00 p.m.-5:30 p.m.   The cost is only $19 for one class, or you can purchase a pack of classes at a discounted rate.  For more info, call 678-243-5074.
