Yoga is the art of living and moving the body, mind and breath in a way that it transforms and heals us from the imbalances and stresses of daily life. The word Yoga is derived from the Sanskrit root ‘Yuj’ which means ‘to join’ , ‘to yoke’  or ‘to bind’.
My teaching focuses on Hatha Yoga, the physical aspects of a Yoga practice, and within this is woven the classical asanas/postures, breathe work, sensory awareness movement, meditation and mindfulness practices. It is through the joining together of these various practices that we restore our bodies back to a place of balance and this physical well-being has a strengthening and calming impact on the mind.
The benefits of practicing Yoga are numerous and they are felt immediately in the following ways:

Restful relaxed breathing
Increased strength, vitality and tone in musculature of body
Increased flexibility and mobility in joints and connective tissue
Deeper quality of sleep
Reduction in stress through mindfulness of movement and breath
Increased levels of attention and focus
Creates a space in the day for taking care of yourself
