Yoga: An ancient practice with modern results.

For thousands of years, people have practised yoga to maintain flexibility and to balance mind and body. Now research on yoga is growing rapidly and many doctors are advising clients to start yoga. Yoga is gentle, easy to learn, and adaptable to your health, strength, and flexibility. Regular practice may help:

• Lower the risk of cardiovascular disease

• Improve balance and prevent falls

• Manage arthritis, pain and inflammation

• Improve sleep quality

• Facilitate the grieving process

• Manage depression and anxiety

Practising yoga measurably improves self-reported sense of well-being. One study found that older adults assigned to a yoga practice showed greater improvements in anger and anxiety regulation and higher well-being than those in an exercise control group. This is not to say that running or weightlifting is not beneficial, but yoga appears unique in its scope and ability to address a broad spectrum of wellness indicators across all stages of life.

Yoga Is For Any Body

Because yoga is not a purely physical practice, it offers flexibility to adapt one’s practice to one’s needs. We teach postures and sequences tailored to your body type and level of flexibility and strength. Yoga can also include breathing techniques and meditative practices that are valuable for those seeking greater calm or those with limited mobility.

“The Hour of yoga is the best state of peace I get all week” - Chris 

In short, there is a yoga practice available to you, no matter your age or your physical limitations. There has never been a better time to discover yoga.
