Spiritual Growth with Yoga

Known For: Its gentle approach and upbeat
messages. Every posture is paired with a silent affirmation (such as, “I
am strong in myself, I am complete in myself”) that helps you build a

this style is never “aggressive or aerobic” and emphasizes maintaining a
state of constant relaxation -- even while holding challenging poses.
