VIDEO: Stretch Yourself to the Limits With Jem Yoga

Watch as Patch steps inside Jem Yoga in Merrick and reporter Adam Matos stretches his limits with this 5,000-year-old exercise.

It's about inner peace as much as it's about physical dexterity.

It's practiced by NASCAR pit crews, NFL athletes and Long Island house wives alike.

It's the 5,000-year-old practice of yoga, an ancient meditative exercise from India that has become popular around the world. We stopped by  as reporter  attempted to find his center, both literally and figuratively.
