Benefits of Yoga - The type of yoga you are learning with me is mainly hatha yoga with some raja yoga. For those completely new to yoga it is important not to overstretch for the first few sessions.
Yoga is a wonderful form of self-help, promoting balance. However there are certain conditions that yoga postures (or asana) can help but the teacher needs to know about them. These are: detached retina, high blood pressure, diabetes, pregnancy (with the OK from your GP), asthma, back problems and thyroid problems.
There are many health benefits of taking regular yoga practice. Unlike many westernised exercises it works on the mind, body and spirit. Many pupils tell me of benefits such as improved digestion, reduced migraines, reduction in panic attacks, stronger backs, improved periods, and a more positive mindset.

Yoga started over 6,000 years ago in a place called Harappa which was in the Indus Valley. It no longer exists, but is near where Pakistan now is. Yoga was initially kept under a shroud of secrecy and only practised by men. Many yoga exercises are based on the study of animals.

I run a number of yoga classes in the local area and have a few spaces left for new members to join. I passed my Diploma in Comprehensive Yoga with excellent grades and have been teaching for many years in the area. My approach is a gentle and meditative one suitable for all ages and levels of experience. In addition I also practise nutritional therapy, massage, crystal healing and Reiki and my current programme includes teaching in schools and pre-school groups.
