YOGA, as practiced in the United States, is generally about holding postures known as asanas. A few hours a week of yoga practice nearly always results in greater flexibility, improved circulation, deeper relaxation, and an improved overall sense of well-being. Quite often, the practice alleviates symptoms of physical illness or dysfunction.
Yoga of the Mind as a practice offers a few mental processes that have shown positive results for many thousands of people around the world. Just as most popular forms of yoga cause us to become better attuned with our bodies, Yoga of the Mind causes us to become better attuned with, and in greater control of, our non-physical processes, including their effects on our physical bodies.
