Yoga is quoted as being good for the body, mind and spirit and people come to yoga for different reasons. Whatever your reason I am sure you will find so much more than you expected!

What can you expect from Yoga?

Yoga improves the health and fitness of our body, mind and spirit. Regular practice enables an increased level of movement and suppleness in the body, improved circulation, better balance and posture. Yoga improves our concentration and can make us stronger both physically and emotionally. It is widely recognised as an excellent stress management tool; teaching us to relax, it aids restful sleep and helps foster spiritual peace and contentment. Yoga is not a religion nor is it linked to a particular culture; it is a practical aid, enjoyed by people everywhere and by all ages.

A complete science, Yoga is a way of life, an integrated education system that teaches the mind, body and inner spirit to coexist in harmony, originating in India, it's teachings can be traced back to over 5,000 thousand years ago. Yoga is a Sanskrit word that means "unity"; "to unite".

Yoga-Yoga classes are designed for both physical and mental rejuvenation, around the main attributes of Hatha Yoga* - Breathing, Relaxation and Exercise. Special exercises or "asanas" as they are referred to in Yoga, a Sanskrit word meaning "steady pose"; that encourage flexibility and strength across all muscle groups are performed. Deep abdominal breathing, which helps to cleanse and nourish the body; and proper relaxation techniques are practiced.

*Hatha Yoga, in current times, is mainly practiced for health and vitality. It’s a marvellous means of exercising, stretching, and freeing the body so it can be a healthy, long-lived, and vital instrument of the mind and soul. In addition, Hatha yogis can become extremely clear-minded and can concentrate well. However, a few yogis do practice Hatha Yoga as their main method for spiritual realization. Their clear minds and pure, healthy bodies enable them to meditate easily.

In Sanskrit, ha means sun, tha means moon. Hatha Yoga is the practice of harmonizing the body’s inner currents (principally the currents of Feeling, Thinking, Willing, and Acting) until they are in perfect balance. Spiritualworld.org
