There are many documented health and wellbeing benefits of doing yoga. “Yoga participants report better sleep, increased energy levels and muscle tone, relief from muscle pain and stiffness, improved circulation and overall better general health. The breathing aspect of yoga can benefit heart rate and blood pressure”.
Trained in India, we are teaching traditional Himalayan style yoga. Yoga is a balance between mind, body, and spirit. Our yoga practices combine all three elements - physical workout in the form of yoga postures; exercises to extend vital force (also known as prana or chi/ki) - pranayama; and spiritual practices - in the form of mantra repetition and concentration on internal states of consciousness throughout the practice.
In our physical practice, we will focus on warming up and opening exercises. Simple yet profound, they are aimed at increasing the flexibility in the body and are highly recommended for anyone with stiff joints, flexibility issues, those new to yoga, or anyone who wants to deepen their yoga practice. The result is a throughly profound yogic practice aimed at boosting health, increasing energy and vitality, lifting the spirits, improving mood, and increasing mental and physical strength, stability, and balance.
For a deeper experience, we recommend combining our yoga classes with follow-up gong bathes. You can find more information about our gong baths in our Meetup group The Alchemy of Sound, or on our website holistichealingtherapy.co.uk.
