words of Dr. Tim McCall, a board-certified internist and author of Yoga as Medicine: "As someone who has been an M.D. for over twenty years, I can tell you that yoga is quite simply the most powerful system of overall health and well-being that I have ever seen. Even if you are healthy, yoga is as close to one-stop shopping as you can find. This single comprehensive system can reduce stress, increase flexibility, improve balance, promote strength, heighten cardiovascular conditioning, lower blood pressure, reduce overweight, strengthen bones, prevent injuries, lift mood, improve immune function, increase the oxygen supply to the tissues, heighten sexual functioning and fulfillment, foster psychological equanimity... and that's only a partial list."

 

Learn more about the health benefits of yoga and experience this amazing practice during a weekend workshop at Wild Eagle Lodge. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in a gentle physical practice as well as try other yogic techniques to calm the mind and body (such as breathing exercises and meditation). No previous experience with yoga is required, but participants must be at least age 16, with no significant health issues, and have an open mind and a willingness to experiment.
