The philosophic principals of Kemetic Yoga places emphasis the rejuvenation of the entire body and mind, and not just physical development of outer muscles and flexibility. Kemetic Yoga teaches you the skill to ease yourself into a posture as opposed to forcing yourself into it. Most importantly, Kemetic Yoga emphasizes control of the breath. The breath is the life force, and we use the breath to “flow” through the movements from one posture to the next. Each series of movements takes you into the posture in the correct order and brings you out the posture in the correct order.  Nothing is left to chance or haphazard. This form of movement is in tune with the body’s natural anatomy. It systematically works through every joint and muscle group to develops alignment, correct body defects and energizes the organs.

Basically, Yoga is a group of physical, mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines which originated in ancient India. There is a broad variety of Yoga schools, practices, and goals in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Native American cultures. Other well-known types of yoga are Hatha yoga and Rāja yoga.
