by Elaine Kraftscik "TI go to Nature to be soothed and healed, and to hear my senses put in tune once more."' The words yoga and 'nature' are synonymous. Since in, the last few decades we have fallen away from nature with synthetic this and ar- tificial that, the time is ripe to slowly pull our- selves away from those binding ties of ar- tificiality and gently go towards a more natural way of life. Give up all those modern pleasures? No, all we're saying is - look at yourself and see in what areas a change is pertinent. Let's quickly look at our nation as a whole. The Toronto Star recently stated that less than 20 per cent of the total population are involved in any physical activity. Why? Can you really blame just the schools, as so many are doing? I don't.

Yoga, the ageless art of physical perfection, is perhaps the most natural commitment of any form of exercise. The rhythm is flowing, the movements sensual and the gentle stimulation of organs and glands become evident immediately. Take, for instance, .a Stretch - the slow, deliberate moving of fingers, arms, feet and the legs, stretching of every muscle, every limb. After reading this article, lie down on the floor and start slowly, feeling the movements progressing slowly and continue until each part of the body feels stimulated and alive.
