Yoga at Ananda Physical Therapy

At Ananda PT yoga is rooted in a modern understanding of anatomy, physiology and biomechanics that allows it to be a safe and effective part of recovery and overall wellness.

What is Yoga?

The word Yoga comes from the Sanskrit root yuj, which means “to unite” and “to converge the mind.” Yoga can be defined as the union of body, mind, and spirit.

Traditional yoga practice is based around a series of postures (asanas) designed to calm the mind, strengthen and stretch the body and improve overall wellbeing.

Yoga ultimately can help a practitioner direct the mind exclusively toward an object and sustain that direction without any distractions.
