Simplify Your Life With Yoga

...ing more life! I quit making things so difficult. Yoga led me to quit drinking. Yoga put that into action.

Fran isnt alone. Many of the clients at Park Cities Yoga report changes in their physical health and in their overall sense of well-being changes they attribute to their yoga practice. Its not surprising then that this thousands-year-old tradition persists, and continues to grow here in America.

The tradition first came to Texas in 1967 when Kumar Pallana, a performer and yogi, first opened the Dallas Yoga and Health Centre. now at age 87 he has more energy than people half his age. You might recognize Kumar as the loveable old man in films such as Bottle Rocket, The Royal Tennenbaums, and Rushmore. Most recently, he charmed Catherine Zeta-Jones as the ring-juggling Gupta in Steven Speilbergs The Terminal. As full of stories as he is wisdom, Kumar reminds his yoga students that yoga develops strength, flexibility, coordination, balance, health, concentration, confidence, self-satisfaction, and peace of mind. Kumar is a walking example of yogas benefits. After all, how many 87-year-olds do you know that follow up a six-week film shoot with nation-wide promotion tours and yoga seminars, interspersed with trips to visit family and friends in India?

Yoga may not turn you into a movie star like Kumar (but who knows? Maybe it will). At the very least, yoga will deliver what you put into it. Best of all, yoga can simplify your life.more
