Yoga

Frequently Asked Questions

What is yoga?

The word yoga, from the Sanskrit word yuj means to yoke or bind and is often interpreted as "union" or a method of discipline. A male who practices yoga is called a yogi, a female practitioner, a yogini.   

Is yoga a religion?

Yoga is not a religion. Yoga is a health system that is designed to bring greater clarity and harmony in your life.  By incorporating yoga in your life you will find that you become more patient, mentally sharper, more relaxed and better to handle stressful situations.

I'm not flexible can I do yoga?

Yes! You are a perfect candidate for yoga. Many people think that they need to be flexible to begin yoga, but that's a little bit like thinking that you need to be able to play tennis in order to take tennis lessons. Come as you are and you will find that yoga practice will help you become more flexible.  

What do I need to begin?

All you really need to begin practicing yoga is your body, your mind, and a bit of curiosity.

Why are you supposed to refrain from eating two to three hours before class?

In yoga practice we twist from side to side, turn upside down, and bend forward and backward. If you have not fully digested your last meal, it will make itself known to you in ways that are not comfortable. If you are a person with a fast-acting digestive system and are afraid you might get hungry or feel weak during yoga class, experiment with a light snack such as yogurt, a few nuts, or juice about 30 minutes to an hour before class.

Testimonials

I have found that being a student in Juneous beginning yoga class has moved me to a new awareness of the practice.  My prior recent experience in a class did not allow me to understand that yoga is a practice...that there are modified poses for people like myself who are experiencing some health challenges and I almost had given up the desire to explore yoga as a means of wellness and balance in my life. Juneous is an excellent motivator.
