Why practise Yoga? Due to a combination of factors of which you are aware, stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, chronic physical pain and auto-immune diseases are increasing exponentially. Yoga is the perfect discipline for our times: a safe physical exercise and spiritual antidote to the madness of a increasingly fearful and numb world driven to excess.
Yoga alleviates your mind and body by awakening the para-sympathetic nervous system, which ultimately helps calm your psyche and enables your body and soul to heal itself. Practicing yoga twice a week or more is what keeps us grounded, sane, strong, compassionate, joyful, in touch with ourselves and with nature, and ready for whatever the modern world throws in our direction.
New to Yoga? Brilliant, we know exactly how that feels. We all have to start somewhere and whereas other sports and exercise can be competitive, yoga is different: it does not matter if the person next to you can stand on their head – what matters is your own personal practice. Stay with your breath, let go, and allow our amazing teachers to guide you along your path. Come to any ‘suitable for beginners’ or ‘restorative’ class and have a go alongside others at the start of their yoga journey.
