Achieving more balance in our lives is important to our health and well being. As the new year gets bedded in, more and more of us look for ways to bringing more balance into our lives. We want to get fit and do more exercise. We want to be more conscious of the food we eat and we want to get rid of the stresses and strains that plague our daily existence. Learning Yoga is one way that we can do this.
Yoga is a Sanskrit word that means 'union' or 'merger'. The main purpose of practicing Yoga is to get a balance between body and mind. Yoga can help you realise self-enlightenment through a combination of techniques including breathing, meditation, different poses and relief. When you practice these Yoga techniques, you can understand and get benefit from the knowledge that you can maintain a healthy, balanced approach to life.
Yoga is not a religion, although it does have it's roots in the Hindu religion. There are no codes of belief in Yoga, one is merely given the tools and techniques you need to gain a better understanding of your bodies potential. When mind and body work in tandem, you will feel better, you will look better and you will have a very different perspective on life.
Yoga is much more than just a workout. Although as a runner or if you do weight training, you exercise particular muscle groups, with Yoga you can do both cardio and toning, and much more.
It is more that stretching and relaxing, after a complete Yoga session, you will feel totally relaxed and full of energy. You can work on your physical and learn how to breathe deeply and effectively. This technique in particular allows oxygen to flow too your heart, brain and lungs.
The experience of total relaxation is a great stress reliever.

Whatever method you choose, you will enjoy this form of exercise and once learned, the techniques and skills will benefit you for the rest of your life.
