What do you need for Yoga?
You do not need to be super-flexible or a particular shape or age to benefit from yoga. Yoga is as much a workout for your mind and breath, as for your body. All you need is a willingness to give it a go.
You might need to bring a yoga mat with you. Yoga is normally practiced in bare feet, so the right mat will help you feel secure. Some teachers may be able to lend you a mat, so check with them if you want to try a class out first, before buying one.
What is Yoga?
Yoga means ‘union’ and is a philosophy that originated in India, many thousands of years ago. The traditional goal of yoga is ‘the control of the modifications (thoughts and emotions) of the mind’.
Through a series of physical, breathing and meditation practices, the student will learn to look beyond the external world and body, to deep within themselves, creating a ‘union’ of mind, body and soul.
In the West, the physical practice of yoga, known as Hatha yoga, is the most recognisable form and most classes will be based around a series of postures, or ‘asana’. There will usually be a focus on the breath and it could include quiet reflection and relaxation.
Whatever your reason for wanting to practice yoga, we’re sure you will find a class here that you’ll enjoy.
