Yoga is thought of as an ancient form of exercise that focuses of breathing and opening the body to boost physical and mental wellbeing.
Yoga means union and is a mind body practice with a 5000 year history in ancient Indian philosophy where for generations this knowledge was passed on from teacher to student.
In our practice we link mind body ad breath with mindful movement through postures which bring about a feeling of balance and relaxation.
The fundamental purpose of yoga is to foster harmony in the body and mind as well as the environment around us. There are many different styles of yoga, but all point in the same direction - the practice of poses to calm the mind.
Yoga came to the west in 1890 when a Yogi named Swarmi Vivekananda decided he wanted to share yoga with the rest of the world.
Slowly it has crept into our culture and the notion of mindfulness has made an impression.
“Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, too the self”
