Yoga is learning to come back to yourself, finding your limits, expanding your boundaries, and being able to truly relax into who you. This ancient practice of movements and postures (asanas) breath control (pranayama) and relaxation, incorporated into our busy lives help us gain greater physical and mental balance and wellbeing.
My first steps into yoga began over 25 years ago with various forms including: Hatha, Vini, and Ashtanga yoga. A qualified Sivananda yoga instructor, I teach a gentle yet powerful moving form, building core-strength, flexibility, good posture, focus, balance and relaxation. There are rest periods during the asana practice, to regenerate and establish rhythmic breathing in the abdomen.
It is of the classical style known as hatha yoga, the oldest and most respected form studied world wide.
I love the way this yoga has in no way taken the ego of one person but is the study of wise sages many thousands of years ago.
Sivananda himself was an educated man whose goal in life after studying to be a doctor was to attain spiritual fulfillment. This has to be one of the best reasons to want to practice yoga. He practiced and taught yoga to encourage others to find peace in their own time through the healthy pursuit of five main principles:
Proper relaxation, proper exercise, proper breathing, a proper diet, positive thinking and meditation.
