Aaron Hoopes is a master of Zen Yoga – a gentle practice, combining the mindful serenity graceful movements of Tai Chi, the energized breathing of Qigong, and the peaceful stretching of Shanti Yoga.
By blending the essential elements from these practices, Zen Yoga works on a number of levels physical, mental, and spiritual.
On the physical plane, breathing, moving, stretching, and relaxing exercises promote a healthy body by providing a well-balanced toning of the muscles and organs.
Mentally, Zen Yoga can play a substantive role in neutralizing stress and increasing concentration. It also improves blood circulation, boosts metabolism, betters the immune system, encourages weight loss, and promotes restful sleep.
