Yoga Exercises (Asanas)
Asanas develop flexibility and strength, tone the organs, cleanse and purify. They strengthen and regulate the nervous system, endocrine gland system, all body systems. They encourage and develop body awareness, releasing rigid habits and tension, relieving body armouring and stress. Health, vitality and well being are greatly enhanced.
Sun Salutations and Flow are moving sequences of poses unified with the breath.

Breathing Exercises (Pranayama)
We incorporate simple pranayama practices into the classes.
These encourage increased oxygen flow, removing dullness, stress and emotional blocks - invigorating the body, calming the mind, cleansing the energy field and balancing the whole self.

Relaxation (Nidra/Meditation)
Nidra means 'sleep', a very deep level of rest. (It is said that 15 minutes of Nidra is equivalent to 1hr sleep). Meditation is either guided, lying down, or sitting up.
Both can involve visualisations/ awareness of breath/ energy centres (chakras)/ stillness. Chanting of AUM or other mantras (sound vibrations) are an exhilarating addition to our yoga practice.
Deep relaxation is achieved, and we become more aware of our inner experience as centered and connected. Peace is restored.

Yoga
Yoga means "Union", and the ultimate goal of yoga is UNION. Union of the Whole Self (body, mind and spirit). By practicing Yoga we bring ourselves into balance, allowing ourselves to open up to our own perfect unfolding.
