Yoga
What is Yoga?
Yoga is an ever-evolving ancient discipline which aims to connect the body, mind and soul through postures, breath work and meditation.
You can practise in group sessions or on a one-to-one basis from beginner level to advanced.
Our teaching of Yoga is based on alignment, strength and mobility.
Yoga postures (asanas) keep the body healthy. We move through all the joints, strengthening and lengthening the muscles as we create the sequences through the sessions. We breathe deeply, focus, and meditate to reach a peaceful and worry-free state of mind.
All sessions change according to the year’s season and time of the day.

Pranayama - Breathing Techniques.
Support calming the mind and developing focus and clarity. All Yogic breathing techniques promote the rest and digest mode of our nervous system, healing of the body and mind and good night's sleep.
Yoga has always been known for its skilful use of the breath. Yogis of old knew that deep breathing is calming and focusing our mind.
Pranayama purifies subtler levels of our body which increases vitality.
Ujjayi breath is used during the practice, to deepen the focus and maintain warmth.
Meditation.
Patanjali explains that meditation is being one with the object of our concentration, whatever we choose to concentrate on.
There are many objects available to help us deepen our concentration. They can be visual, sound-based, or our breath. Everyone needs to find the one that resonates with them.
I love AUM chanting, which the yoga philosophy describes as the easiest, most powerful and energising meditation technique available.
All our sessions end with the SOM meditation of my teacher, Shreeguruji Balaji Tambe.
