WHAT IS YOGA?

The Oxford dictionary describes yoga as 'A Hindu spiritual and ascetic discipline, a part of which, including breath control, simple meditation, and the adoption of specific bodily postures, is widely practised for health and relaxation'. It's a way of life,  deeper awareness, a form of movement that connects the mind with the body and reconnects you to you inner self.  in a nutshell then, yoga teaches us how to relax  and restore the own power within our bodies whilst stilling the mind at the same time.

The numerous benefits of Yoga include:

•  

• Increases strength & flexibility

• Connects the mind, body and spirit

• Improves balance & co-ordination

• Reduces stress & anxiety

• Improves sleep

• Massages internal organs & aids detoxification processes

• Develops better breathing techniques

During these weekly yoga and yogalates classes, Natalie Smit-Ash will be guiding you through traditional Hatha yoga fused with vinyasa flow which is strong, powerful and rejuvenating and covers many of the well known and popular asanas.  

The yogalates sessions will be mainly dynamic with an aim of getting the heart beating faster and the energy rising...then the yoga for backcare are more about strengthening your core, developing better posture and using props such as a chair, resistance bands and yoga balls to achieve our backcare goals.
