Yoga
Yoga is the development of your ability to focus the mind and be able to be present in your chosen direction without the distraction of mental fluctuations.
Yoga can be beneficial in so many ways - as exercise, meditation, maybe even a spiritual practice, or simply as a class to meet and make friends.
We use Asana postures to improve the function of the physical body and engage the mind. We learn and practise Pranayama, (prana means life force, yama means control, so pranayama means breath control) to still the rippling mind and to create clarity and prepare for meditation.
The practice of yoga is more than five thousand years old, originating from the Indus Valley, but now is practised world wide. More and more people are discovering how yoga can engender a sense of well being and improve the balance of everyday lives.
