You'll notice improvements in your flexibility, strength and stamina whilst experiencing reduced muscle and joint pain. Added to this your posture, circulation and breath will benefit too.
Balancing of the mind comes with meditation in action. The disciplined of asana (postures) results in the easing of anxiety, stress and emotional tensions. With practice, the ability to quieten, focus and concentrate the mind enhances overall wellbeing.
Our classes encourage breath awareness - Pranayama, which will help you stay balanced and focused. This practice is introduced slowly once an understanding of asana is established. Enhancing lung function and capacity.
