YOGA

The word 'Yoga' derived from the Sanskrit root yui which means to

"to join" or " yoke".

In philosophic terms, the union of the individual self,

with the universal self, is yoga.

In the practice of yoga,

we aim to join/unite the mind, body and breath.

​

Hatha yoga

Hatha yoga is actually an umbrella term for the physical practice of yoga.

It was designed to align and calm the mind and spirit,

dating back thousands of years.

​

Iyengar, Ashtanga, Vinyasa and Hot yoga are just a few

of the many styles that are based on Hatha yoga.

​

Pranayama (breathing exercises), are introduced to focus and
control the fluctuations of the mind, and soothe the
sympathetic nervous system.

 

So through the practice of asanas' (physical poses) and
pranayama (breathing exercises)  we gain:

• strength • energy • flexibility • calm mind

​

In todays busy lives, time to relax needs to be made.
Feed the body with breath, and in turn the mind stills.
Awaken the body with exercise, and the body becomes active and alive.

Together body and mind become balanced.
