The word “yoga” comes from Sanskrit and means “union” or “to yoke or bind.” This can be interpreted many ways, I encourage you to dive into the meaning for yourself. Yoga is ancient, being traced back to Northern India approximately five thousand years ago. Traditionally it incorporates the ‘eight limbs’ – Yamas, Niyamas, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, Samadhi. Asana are just one part that we can aim to incorporate into our lives on a daily basis, alongside all the other limbs.
Yoga is for every body and brings us ‘home’, into the magic of the present moment.
Be attuned to your body. Calm and focus your mind. Come and try a class and experience the benefits immediately – feel energised and aware, tone your body, improve your posture, stimulate your circulation, have fun. Yoga supports a positive outlook on life.

“I honour and respect the origins of yoga, thank you India, the seers and spiritual seekers from Shiva to Patanjali, and all the teachers whom have come before me, so that we can benefit from this practice, which is our birthright, today.”
