Psychologically, yoga helps to cultivate mindfulness by shifting your awareness to the sensations, thoughts, and emotions you experience in the poses. Yoga can help to reduce stress, pain, inflammation, heart rate, blood pressure, depression, anxiety and cravings. Yoga can help manage symptoms of insomnia, MS, arthritis, asthma, PTSD, and addiction. Yoga can also help increase immunity, memory, fertility, emotional balance, energy, and productivity.

While at Lincoln Yoga Center you may hear the word “Namaste”. This gesture is an acknowledgment of the soul in one by the soul in another. ”Nama” means bow, “as” means I, and “te” means you. Therefore, Namaste literally means “I bow to you”. Many have expanded the meaning to "the light within me honors the light within you".
