"Mind, Body & Spirit"

Patanjali, the author of the Yoga Sutras, described the eight aspects of yoga as limbs of a tree:

yama - ethical disciplines; pratyahara - sense withdrawal; niyama - self observation; dharana - concentration; asana - posture; dhyana - meditation; pranayama - breath control; samadhi - a state of joy and peace.



"Yoga Sessions, Courses & Therapy"


Yoga is for people of all ages, all abilities and all body types. Whether you are an athlete in tip-top shape or just getting in shape, whether you are extremely flexible or extremely stiff, or whether you are recovering from injuries or injury free, you will be able to find something in yoga to enjoy from the moment you begin.

Perhaps you have tight hamstrings, but a lot of upper body strength; or maybe, a stiff back but flexible shoulders. Part of the fun of yoga is discovering what is unique about your body and finding a yoga practice that is suitable for you.

You may start with Ashtanga Yoga Level 1 for complete beginners or Level 2 classes if you have some experience of yoga. Then should you wish, steadily progress to intermediate and advanced level classes.

Hatha Yoga, also known as traditional yoga, offers a variety of asanas (postures), pranayama (breath control) and dhyana (meditation techniques).

Why people do Yoga
"Many people might believe that the main benefits of yoga are physical, such as flexibility, strength, and balance. But the most obvious and quickest benefits are more mental and spiritual, such as reducing stress, seeing yourself more clearly, and experiencing more equanimity in your life. These things happen right away in yoga faster than any changes in flexibility. The beauty of yoga is feeling the peace that comes from harmonizing your body, mind and spirit."
