Yoga, which means “union” or “harmony,” is an ancient philosophy originating in India more than 5,000 years ago. The practice of yoga integrates physical and mental exercises including postures, breathing techniques, mantra, yogic relaxation, and meditation, all of which stabilize, condition, and reward the mind and body. Though an ancient discipline, yoga’s continuing popularity today is a testament to its effectiveness at engaging the mind and the body, building self-awareness, and creating a strong, flexible body.

It’s a philosophy of well-being that helps you become stronger, healthier, and more confident, both inside and outside Club One’s doors.
Whether you’re an exercise novice, a beginning yogi or yogini, a fitness enthusiast looking to try something new, or an elite athlete seeking a new physical challenge, we encourage you to try yoga—a physical challenge that unites the body, mind, and spirit. Enjoy!
