Atha Yoga

The intelligent (viniyoga) combination of breath and posture work provided by Yoga can improve our sleep, digestion, strength and flexibility. Yoga can enables us to experience the stillness within. The sanskrit word Atha is the 1st word of Patanjali's Yoga Sutra, a single word - it is often defined as meaning now. However, this is too simple an explanation for a word that conveys a sense of the auspicious. Maybe a better way of defining this word would be a timeless moment or a moment outside of time - we currently have all had this knowledge and the practice of yoga is about creating a space.
