Mind/Body Fitness

Feature Writer: Fiona Wilkinson
Mind-body fitness is defined as “physical exercise executed with a profoundly inwardly directed focus.” This includes Yoga, Tai Chi, Pilates, Reiki, Nia and Gyrokinesis.
Whether you are searching for information about Patanjali's Yoga Sutras and practical applications of yogic philosophy, articles about Bikram Yoga, or specifics about Yoga Poses, Anatomy, or safety tips for beginners, this is the place for you.
To round out the study of alignment and movement, some additional bodywork schools are now included, such as the Alexander Technique, the Feldenkrais Method and the Trager Approach
