Yoga

Yoga means ‘union’; for example union of the body and mind or the individual Self and the Universe. The practise of yoga can teach you to cope better with daily stresses and strains of modern daily living  – on a physical level as well as mental and spiritual levels too.

How I teach:

  • One to one
  • small groups
  • retreats and workshops

This is so that each individual can experience yoga on a personal level. So if you or a few of your friends would like a class specifically for them or in the office, just contact me. click here

More about yoga

The body is a temple and has specific requirements that need to be fulfilled for it to work at its optimum – yoga helps fulfill these through:

Proper exercise asana (meaning steady pose) works on every part of the body, stretching and strengthening the muscles, the spine, as well as the internal organs, glands and nerves, keeping all systems in a radiant health. this leaves you feeling stronger, more flexible, standing taller improving your posture and more toned – steady body presupposes steady mind.
Proper breathing  - pranayama  (meaning control of vital energy or breath) through breathing techniques the energy within is released to revitalize and recharge the body, helping to control the mind, leaving you feeling calm and refreshed. Using the breath during each asana helps you to hold and progress in the posture, releasing the energy (prana) in the body, so it flows freely.
Proper relaxationsavasana, is also a vital part of keeping the body and mind healthy; relaxation is essential to maintain the body's equilbrium, as well as still the mind, so both can re-charge; yoga teaches relaxation on three levels – physical, mental and spiritual.
Proper diet- vegetarian is eating with awareness. Supplying the body with food that has most positive effect on the body and least negative effect on the environment.
Positive thinking and meditation – The practise of positive thinking and meditation gives increased clarity, improves concentration and brings peace of mind which is beneficial to those with a hectic stressful life.

 

Anyone can practise Yoga, whatever age and no previous experience is required. You don’t have to be thin, flexible, strong or spiritual to practice yoga – just come with an open mind and a willingness for change or to learn. It can be incorporated into any belief system, religion or culture - and is inclusive of all faiths.
