[Guest guest]

E {:-}Greetings: Did a quick search to see what would come up when I

entered the above terms. Here are some links/URLs.

Many yogis can attest to the therapeutic benefits of their practice, but

recent research may help spread the word by showing how effective yoga

can be when teamed with Western medicine.

Pain Release through yoga

I also wanted to find the answer to what is Hatha yoga? I think this

link might do that.http://www.abhidhyan.org/Teachings/Hatha_Yoga.htm

When you study hatha yoga you will find that it works on several levels.

As a beginner, you will experience the practice of hatha yoga as a form

of physical exercise that challenges and refines your flexibility,

strength and balance. When you go through this stage, you and your

teacher will develop a personalized approach to each hatha yoga posture.

Be Blessed
