​Numerous positive health benefits come from having a daily Yoga routine. Initial noticeable improvements from the practice involve physical, mental and psychological aspects in everyday living. Starting the day with a wholesome Yoga routine will also result in making healthier choices throughout the day, including; better eating habits, increased vitality and how to respond more positively in unpredictable circumstances. But, by far, one of the greatest gifts anyone will ever encounter from Yoga is the unavoidable dealing with pain.

At AYP we are a community of yoga practitioners who are dedicated to the ashtanga yoga method. Our hope with this blog is that we, as a community, can share who we are and what we are passionate about. Whether it be our favorite recipes, our trials and tribulations (or growth) with the practice, a favorite pose or two, or our thoughts on life, we will share it here. We can't wait to share our worlds with you and grow both in the yoga room and in our practice off our  mat. We hope you enjoy the journey, and if you are a member of AYP and would like to contribute to our blog, please reach out to Cindy, Lissa or Jen, or drop us a message here on our website and we will contact you to set up your contribution to this community endeavor. We look forward to seeing you in the Mysore room and be on the look out for our first official blog!
