Our Yoga Practices focus on Breath , Movement, Awareness & Being Present.
Yin yang yoga is a fusion of yin yoga and yang yoga. So it combines the soft, attentive and peaceful of yin yoga with the strengthening and powerful of yang yoga.
Yang yoga poses that generate heat. Yin yoga poses are aimed at the deeper tissues (the joints, attachments and the connective tissue) and are usually held for a long time.
Many yang poses are performed in a standing position, while most yin poses are performed in a sitting or lying position. The combination of both forms balances the stilling, meditative energy of yin with the invigorating, strengthening energy of yang. A dynamic and tranquil yoga class that will be both intensive and above all meditative in nature. The lesson ends with a deep relaxation.

Deep breathing benefits
Deep breathing is one of the best ways to lower stress in the body. This is because when you breathe deeply, it sends a message to your brain to calm down and relax. The brain then sends this message to your body. Those things that happen when you are stressed, such as increased heart rate, fast breathing, and high blood pressure, all decrease as you breathe deeply to relax.
The way you breathe affects your whole body. Breathing exercises are a good way to relax, reduce tension, and relieve stress.
REIKI
Reiki is a Japanese word meaning spiritual energy. It is universal life energy. Reiki was founded by Usui Mikao in Japan.
Reiki is a gentle, effective healing practice, treating the whole person, not just symptoms. Its aim is to balance and heal the physical, mental, spiritual and emotional. The energy goes where it is most needed in the body.
Reiki is love. Love is wholeness. Wholeness is balance. Balance is wellbeing. Wellbeing is freedom from dis-ease.
– Mikao Usui
What does it feel like?
It varies from person to person but generally, people receiving reiki report feeling deeply relaxed, warm, and cosy. Sometimes people fall asleep, they feel rested, they feel rejuvenated or radiant afterwards. Some people do not feel anything at all but the energy is still flowing through and healing the body.
What are the benefits of reiki ?
If you are busy, multi-tasking, juggling responsibilities and priorities, if you feel that you’re pushing yourself physically and mentally, if you’re feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, if you are having troubles concentrating or sleeping, if you feel that your body is out of balance and would benefit from some TLC, then you will love the peace and relaxation that reiki offers.

Meditation benefits
The mind is a collection of thoughts, jumping from ideas to emotions to memories for most of our waking hours.
During meditation you will begin to witness how much movement happens in the mind and how little you live in the present moment. You can learn to observe your thoughts and perhaps begin to change them. Taking a step back and witnessing your thoughts instead of identifying with them is the key to meditation.
