About Yoga

Yoga was developed in the East as a spiritual practice with a focus around meditation. In the West however it is more often seen as a physical practice, for the benefit of staying healthy and in shape. Although Yoga is a wonderful way to stay healthy and in shape those who have a regular practice soon experience the other benefits of Yoga such as learning tools to manage stress and master the mind.

Yoga is a practice that adapts to the needs and abilities of each participant and for this reason does not discriminate against age, sex, disability, race or religion. Yoga is there for all to enjoy.

Benefits of Yoga

Physically, Yoga stretches and strengthens the body, promoting lubrication of the joints, tendons and ligaments. The postures performed in Yoga are developed to stimulate all systems of the body, including the muscular, respiratory, circulatory, nervous, digestive, lymphatic and immune.

On a more subtle level breathing, awareness, relaxation, meditation and Yogic philosophy help participants to achieve balance and calm which help to face the stressors of everyday living.

Our classes are aimed at enhancing these central points while creating and portraying a healthier lifestyle and thereby an improved sense of well-being.
