Yoga makes people feel better, stronger, and healthier. Just ask the more than 17 million Americans who practice regularly. Ramstein Community Center is offering an all-day event for those new to yoga and those who practice regularly but would like to try a different style. A variety of low-cost workshops will be held 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Jan. 27 at Bldg. 411 on Ramstein.

The workshops are open to all ages and fitness levels. Each hour will bring a different class and beginners to advanced practitioners are encouraged to attend. An hour-long instructor-building class will also be included for those who have ever thought of teaching or have taken teacher training before.

Studies have demonstrated that practicing yoga postures, meditation or a combination of both reduced pain for those with cancer, multiple sclerosis, autoimmune diseases and chronic conditions such as hypertension, arthritis, asthma and carpal tunnel syndrome, among others.

  Athletes from weekend warriors to professionals including golfers, cyclists and football and basketball players have discovered yoga, finding that it complements their regular workout regimen and helps them to better focus during competition. 

Yoga challenges the body and calms the mind while providing a sense of relaxation and rejuvenation. There is a style of yoga to suit everyone regardless of age, body type or fitness level.
