Strengthen your body, free your mind.
Yoga helps to realign the body, create strength and tone, improve posture while also creating a flexible and lean physique. It is a powerful tool to help overcome injuries, increase range of motion and reduce aches and pains. It is the perfect complement to any existing exercise regime to promote balance in the body.
Yoga reduces the physical effects of stress on our bodies. Focusing on the breath allows us to quieten our constant 'mind chatter', relieving stress and allowing us to feel relaxed. By encouraging relaxation, yoga helps to lower our levels of the stress hormone, cortisol.
The related benefits of this include lowering blood pressure and heart rate, improving digestion and boosting the immune system as well easing symptoms of conditions such as anxiety, depression, fatigue, asthma and insomnia. Yoga practice can also boost oxygen levels to the brain leaving us feeling happier and more content with everyday life.
Given our busy lifestyles wellness can sometimes feel quite elusive. Our senses are constantly overstimulated and it can be hard to slow down.
Yoga teaches us to move mindfully, and through the connection with the breath, leads us be more mindful and present in our daily lives. By helping to focus on the present, yoga opens the way to improved concentration, coordination, reaction time and memory.
