What is Yoga?

Life can be very hectic at times and we all have different ways of coping with the stress of every day living. But whilst we are rushing around trying to get everything done at the same time - do you ever think how good it would be to step off the treadmill for a while.....Yoga can help you do this.Why not give yourself the permission to have a couple of hours to allow give your mind and body a bit of pamper...Time for the body to stetch and increase its flexability and for the mine to learn to let go and relax!! It is never too late to start yoga and it is suitable for all ages and abilities - men and women. Why not give your that time and come and join us?

Yoga and Sarah

I started yoga after having a major operation and wanted a type of exercise that would give me time to heal as well as increasing my flexability and improving my feeling of well being. That was over nine years ago now it is so much part of who I am. I joined the British Wheel of Yoga and firstly completed the foundation course to further my own practice. I decided to deepen my knowledge and in 2005, I started my teacher training and now hold the British Wheel of Yoga teaching diploma.

Yoga is not ...

A competition – our bodies are all different – some asanas will be easier for others – find your own level and work with your breath to deepen and develop your strength. A quick fix – it takes time for us to re learn how to allow the mind to focus on one thing at a time rather than rush around doing several things at once! A religion or cult – the aim of yogic practice is to bring the mind, body and breath into harmony and work as one.
