Yoga

Union of body and mind through a combination of breathing, asanas (postures) and mental focus. Improves strength, stamina and flexibility.  Yoga brings a challenge to the body and mind. The focus and awareness required to perfect the physical postures ultimately produces the concept of meditation in action. Hence the subtle communication between mind and body allows one to create harmony within and so better equips us to cope with the highs and lows of life. Lung capacity, heart performance, muscular strength and suppleness improve and you will become aware of feeling more calm yet energised and alive!
