YOGA
Yoga is a way of life. There are guidelines for every aspect of living, physical well-being, diet, health, philosophies which enhance one’s beliefs, moral guidance and codes of ethical conduct.
HATHA yoga is the type of yoga most frequently taught in classes in the west. This form of yoga consists of a system of physical exercises, or postures – asanas - as they are usually called, practices in breath control - pranayama and the art of relaxation, to learn to still the mind ready for meditation. This type of yoga will be taught at class but not exclusively (Vini & Dru yoga influences). Yoga can help to:
• Increase suppleness, flexibility and strength
• Improve posture
• Develop muscle tone
• Strengthen the muscles
• Increase energy levels
• Reduces stress and anxiety
• Improve concentration
• Calm the mind
• Improve sleep
Information about yoga classes detailed on the website.
YIN yoga
Yin targets the connective tissues such as ligaments, bones & joints of the body. Yoga practiced in the West is mostly yang or muscular in nature. Yin is practiced with the muscles relaxed and the postures held for a few minutes. Yin postures are floor postures that primarily work the hips and low back. Yin is characterised by gentle traction, stressing the ligaments to maintain their length and strength. In the West, office workers and others who sit for long periods of time can suffer back problems and degeneration of joints from disuse due to our sedentary lifestyle. It's a matter of use it or lose it! Please note yin is not restorative yoga and should not be practiced if the tissues or joints are damaged in some way. They should be allowed to heal before starting a yin practice.

REIKI
Reiki is the ‘laying’ of hands (non-intrusively) on or slightly above the body so the energy can flow through the practitioner as a channel and to another person. It is this flow of energy which enables the ability of the body to heal itself. The client lies on a massage table, fully clothed, eyes closed, listening to gentle music which helps to produce a state of deep relaxation. As energy flows most people will feel warmth, heat, tingling, or other sensations, some fall asleep or they may feel nothing at all. Reiki is a healing experience that is unique for each client. Each treatment is different, the energy has an intelligence of its own, knowing where to go and what is needed for each client. The benefits include:
-Breaks down energy blocks and promotes natural balance between mind, body and spirit;
