YOGA Benefits

Yoga is the joining, the harmony of body breath and mind. It is the physical aspect of yoga (the asanas or postures) that people see. what people cant see is the co-ordination of the movement with the breath, the concentration of the mind. They cant see how the asana feels.

What is most important is how the asana feels for the individual practitioner rather than how it looks.

The breath is a crucial aspect of yoga practice brining a greater conscious awareness into our actions and thoughts.

Yoga is a non competitive practice. We practice yoga for ourselves. No one else can have our experience.

The benefits of yoga can be felt on all levels of our lives and can help:

Manage emotional and mental stress
Relieve physical strain in the body
Induce a sense of relaxation
Create a sense of peace within yourself
Develop your own innate wisdom
Create a greater balance in your life
Reduce anxiety and worry
