| Ancient Roots
Yoga comes from the Ancient Sanskrit word meaning "union." It seeks to unite body and mind. It has been found that Yoga was practiced in Egypt earlier than anywhere else in history. A series of virtually identical postures to those that were practiced in India can be found in various Ancient Egyptian papyruses and inscribed on the walls and ceilings of temples. As African civilizations migrated to India, the science was adopted and popularized, becoming a key component of Hindu religion.

Ta Yoga
TA means "the earth" in Ancient Egyptian, circa 3,000 B.C. Yoga means "union" in the Ancient Indian Sanskrit language.
|
TA YOGA is a dynamic, flowing style of Hatha Yoga that links movement with the breath allowing you to connect with the natural flow of energy - melding together mind, body and spirit. Set to sounds from around the globe, it immerses you in a journey that stirs the soul, tones the body and calms the mind – transporting you to a place of strength, serenity and self-awareness.

| TA YOGA is an outgrowth of the experience of Ta founder, Terri Kennedy. Inspired by her mother, who started practicing yoga in the early 70's, Terri is trained as a Hatha Yoga instructor from the Integral Yoga Institute (IYI) in New York City, and has experience as an ACE-certified Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor, and Lifestyle & Weight Management Counselor. TA YOGA combines her international upbringing, study of dance, passion for athletics, and own practice of yoga.
From a spiritual standpoint, TA YOGA strives to promote positive principles such as peace, mindfulness and a consciousness of love. As a form of exercise, TA YOGA can improve strength, balance and flexibility, condition the entire body, burn calories, release stress and induce relaxation. It aims to be inviting and accessible to all.
