Why Yoga

The word Yoga is classically translated as meaning ’union’
It is the union of body, mind, and breath, combining all parts to create a unified whole.

I believe this is what sets yoga apart from all other forms of exercise.
Today’s fast-paced and stressful world often leaves us feeling off-kilter, unbalanced and worn down.

Yoga brings us back to basics, redressing the balance, putting each part back on an even keel.

Yoga also brings us space.

It gives you time to take a step back, breathe and relax.

It brings the gift of time to focus inwards, away from external distractions allowing you to reconnect with yourself.

The benefits of yoga.

RE-ENERGISE

If you are suffering from fatigue yoga can help restore energy levels in a natural way.

BALANCE

It’s not all physical. Yoga will bring together the body, mind, breath and spirit in a very holistic and nurturing way.

RELAX

Taking time in each session for some relaxation activates the parasympathetic nervous system promoting better sleep quality.

NO JUDGEMENTS

Yoga doesn’t care (and neither do I) if you can or can’t touch your toes, or how fit you are. Yoga is about working compassionately with how your body feels in the present moment.

BUILD STRENGTH

Yoga postures can help to build up muscles, improve bone density and boost the metabolism.

STRESS RELIEF

Yoga helps reduce stress as it promotes relaxation, lowering blood pressure, reducing the heart rate and regulating respiration.

With a regular yoga practice you will increase your flexibility, improve your posture – helping you walk tall!
