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 allow yourself a couple of hours to give your mind and body a bit of a pamper… Time for the body to stretch and increase its flexibility and for the mind to learn to relax!

It is never too late to start yoga and it is suitable for all ages and abilities – men and women

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 keeping fit. That was seven years ago and now I am completely hooked!

I am a member of the British Wheel of Yoga and completed the foundation course to further my own practice.

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.
