What are we doing in yoga, exactly?

Yoga is not origami for people! The practice originated in India thousands of years ago, and Hatha Yoga is but the Third Limb of Eight. Hatha is the branch that utilizes exercise as the method by which one may improve body and mind. It is a lifetime fitness program, suitable for nearly everyone - regardless of age or physical condition.

Are there different "styles"?

Yes, many! Your teacher, Tia Lanzetta, practices Indra Devi Style Classic Hatha Yoga. Indra Devi was born in Russia in 1899 and became world-renowned as she traveled through China, the US and Mexico founding ashrams. She is said to have inspired the American yoga movement in Hollywood in the late 1940s, and continued to practice yoga into her 90's.

Is YOGA an acronym?

No, translated from the Indian language Sanskrit, yoga means UNITY. We learn to unify our bodies, minds and spirits with physical postures (asanas), breathing exercises (pranayama) and meditation (dhyana).

What's in it for me?

A more positive outlook. Toned muscles and skin. Increased self-confidence. Better stress-handling skills. Internal organs get massaged. Improved coordination & balance. Increased flexibility and circulation. A reversal of degeneration of the eyes. Peace on our planet, beginning with you. Helps with back and neck problems, joint stiffness, unclear thinking, insomnia, hormonal imbalances, respiratory & digestive ailments, repetitive stress injuries, headaches and more!

Pilates With Tia Will Tone You To Your Core!

Pilates was developed in the 1920s by a legendary physical trainer who wanted to "coordinate the upper and lower musculature with the body's center". Emphasis is on breathing to enhance stretching and strengthening muscles. Balance, coordination and spatial awareness are all improved with regular practice. You'll be surprised how similar the work is to yoga.

There is also a series of spring- and gravity-based equipment to further enhance the effects of these exercises. Check the yellow pages for Pilates studios and try out the Reformer, Cadillac/Trap Table, Wunda Chair and so on.
