| The proliferation of yoga classes and yoga centres throughout the Western world is a tribute to yoga's indisputable power to enliven physical wellbeing. Many athletic programmes from gymnastics to many sporting activities now incorporate yoga for its systematic approach to stretching muscles, tendons and joints. Fitness enthusiasts are often pleasantly surprised by how quickly the addition of yoga postures to a workout routine can improve tone and posture. Yoga postures strengthen muscles, increase your flexibility, stimulate and enhance your circulation and improves your posture, balance and co-ordination.
If the practice of yoga provided only these physical benefits, it would fully justify its place in our lives. Yoga is much more than a system of physical fitness. It is an ancient science of balanced living, a path for realising full human potential. In these tumultuous times of stress, enxiety and overwork, yoga provides an anchor to a quieter domain of life, enabling people living in a modern technological world to stay connected to their natural humanity. Yoga offers the promise of remaining centred in the midst of turbulence. The essential purpose of yoga is the integration of all layers of life - environmental, physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual. The word yoga is derived from the Sanskrit root yuj, which means “to unite”. At its core, yoga means union, the union of body, mind and spirit.

"I am completely new to yoga, and have only been going for 8 weeks, I FEEL AMAZING!!! I suffer from arthritis and have reduced my medication and can feel the difference in my joints, and despite the cold weather I'm getting very little pain, where as this time last year could barely walk.
Raziya teaches at a pace where you can do as much or as little as you want and it is tailored to everyone in the session which is brilliant!" |
