Why Yoga?

There are dozens of different ways to get your exercise. Why do so many people choose Yoga?

I think it is because this ancient practice offers benefits no other form of exercise does. No other form of exercise that I know of does as much to improve and maintain your flexibility. As people age, their flexibility is one of the first things to go. There is nothing like Yoga to help you get it back!

Yoga can also help you maintain - and even recover - your balance. I've had clients who thought their shaky balance was an irreversible consequence of aging. They are surprised and delighted when they find they are getting their balance back!

Yoga can also help build your strength - although not as effectively as resistance training. And it gives you a bit of a cardio-vascular workout - although not nearly as much as jogging or bicycling.

There is another factor. A Yoga practice is not just a workout. There is also a spiritual component to Yoga. A Yoga practice can be a deeply calming, meditative experience. Yoga offers you not just a supple spine and flat abs. It also offers you peace of mind.

My name is Lance Porter, and I am a Yoga teacher in west Bradenton, Florida.  My back deck is an absolutely perfect outdoor Yoga studio, conveniently located just a few blocks west of downtown Bradenton, and two blocks north of Manatee Avenue. I offer a one-hour private practice of Yoga for $20. Do you have a friend who would like to practice with you? You can split the fee, and practice for $10 each.

You can reach me at 502 475-4686. Or lancenelsonporter@gmail.com. I look forward to meeting you soon!

Namaste!
