Rest . Heal . Restore
"Yogas chitta vritti nirodha" Yoga happens when the fluctuations of the mind still.
The name Yoga comes from one of the Sanskrit translations for; 'Union' this union can be understood as combining the practice of the physical body as well as the mind with the use of our breath to allow us to move through a mediative flow, preparing our bodies to find comfort and stillness in our lying meditation 'Savasana'. Ultimately a chance to find the benefits we create to the body, mind and spirit on the mat which we can carry off into our daily lives.
Yoga is Union, Freedom, Connection, Truth and a chance for us to find our Truth as we move and breath in a way that encourages a deeper listening to what's happening within.
Each teacher will guide you through a practice unique to their own style. Using breathing techniques and guided meditation.
There are many benefits of yoga & meditation which include;
-
Improved Immune system
-
Improved posture
-
Clearer mind
-
Gain energy and positivity

Yin & Gentle Flow
Yin and Yang are the Taoist concepts which describe the two relative qualities present in everything. With Yin being more internal, passive, cooling and downward. Whilst yang is more external, dynamic, warming and upward.
During yin yoga we will be holding seated passive poses between 3-5 minutes at a time, with the stretches working deeply on the connective tissues and joints of the body whilst the once active muscles are relaxed.
During the Yang yoga we will be journeying through a Gentle Flow as described above.
The practice will begin and end with yin yoga leading our last yin rebound into a deeply restorative savasana.
