Each class will consist of:

Warm-up exercises intended to lubricate and loosen up joints and tendons. This prepares the muscles for the yoga asanas and reduces the risk of muscle strain and cramps.

Asanas (physical poses) which are beneficial both internally (organs and glands) as well as externally (strengthening and toning muscles).

Pranayama (breathing) techniques designed to greatly increase the lung capacity, detoxify, stimulate the internal function of the body, and allow the body to move further into the stretches and exercises.

Relaxation and/or Meditation through which one can become more centred, calm the mind, increase positive self-awareness, and achieve a strong sense of well-being that is needed in every day life. This helps to turn your outward perspective inward to seek the inner sanctum of silence, peace, and harmony.

Yoga is an integrated system of education for the mind, body and inner spirit.

Yoga is used to promote and maintain physical and mental health, improve flexibility and increase youthfulness.

By practising Yoga, you will stimulate the immune system as well as regulate organs and glands which release chemicals necessary to increase your overall well-being.

Yoga has been proven to reduce levels of cortisol (stress hormone) and raises serotonin levels (fights depression).

Yoga is a practical aid and not a religion. Its teachings may be practised by anyone regardless of age, sex, religion, physical appearance or ability.

Yoga practice will lower your stress and anxiety levels while increasing your energy. This will result in greater self-esteem and an overall strong sense of well-being.
