BENEFITS OF YOGA

The ultimate purpose of yoga is summed up in a traditional Sanskrit principle - Yogas chitta vritti nirodhah (Yoga Sutras of Patanjali 1:2) – yoga is the stilling of the fluctuations of the mind.
And with the assault of stimuli we are fed constantly, this practice of physical, mental & spiritual discipline from ancient India, has become more relevant to life today.
A wonderful aid for our well-being, some physical and psychological benefits attributed to yoga include -
  • Improved physical & mental self-awareness
  • Increasing flexibility, agility & coordination
  • Improve muscle tone & strength
  • Support better respiration awareness & capacity
  • Energising & revitalising
  • Improve cardio & circulatory health
  • Helps with confidence & feeling good about oneself
Considered a form of low impact exercise, its sequence and poses can be adjusted to meet the physical ability of a class, making it a relatively safe and holistic practice that most people can adopt to their lives for better physical, mental and emotional health.

WHAT IS YOGA THERAPY?                    

The British Council of Yoga Therapy (BCYT) defines yoga therapy as “the use of yoga where there is a specific health need or needs… applying the tools you would find in many yoga classes; postures, working with breath, meditation, awareness of the body and/or mind, relaxation, and these are directed to the needs and ability of the person concerned”.
In other words, yoga therapy is a bespoke practice, typically offered in a 1-to-1 setting; designed to address an individual’s needs and help alleviate discomforts that this person may currently be experiencing.
The approach is 360° and holistic whereby the body, the state of mind and emotions are taken into consideration, when evaluating the ailments of the care-seeker. From here, a treatment plan in the form of a personalised home practice is implemented, and over follow-up sessions, the practice continues to evolve, adjusted accordingly to meet the needs of the individual, empowering the client with their own recovery and healing process.
