What is Yoga
Welcome to Your Yoga Journey
Yoga is an ancient practice that harmonises the body, mind, and spirit through physical postures, breathwork, and meditation. With roots tracing back thousands ofyears to India, yoga has evolved into a universal wellness practice that benefits people of all ages and fitness levels. My classes focus on Hatha Yoga and Yin Yoga, two complementary styles that promote strength, flexibility, and relaxation.
A Brief Overview of Hatha and Yin Yoga
-
Hatha Yoga is the foundation of many modern yoga styles, emphasising postures (asanas) and breath control (pranayama). This practice builds strength and stability while enhancing mindfulness.
-
Yin Yoga is a slower, meditative style that targets deep connective tissues and fascia. Poses are held for several minutes, encouraging relaxation and greater flexibility.
Together, these styles offer a balanced approach to physical and mental well-being.
The Benefits of Regular Yoga Practice
Yoga is more than a physical exercise—it’s a path to holistic wellness. When practiced regularly, it can transform your body and mind:
Physical Benefits:
- Increased flexibility and mobility.
- Improved strength and endurance.
- Enhanced posture and spinal health.
- Better circulation and digestion.
Mental and Emotional Benefits:
