Yoga has both physical and mental experiences. Not everyone can experience the mental aspect of yoga. Yoga will help you strengthen your body, where the mental/spirituality part is obtainable through connecting with yourself through the spirituality of yoga.

Holy Yoga Detroit's instructors are trained not only in the practice of yoga, but are taught how to incorporate bible versus into the class to help students spiritually connect with God.
