YOUR QUESTIONS

Q: What is Yoga ?

A: A personal journey within exploring an ancient mind body science. Yoga means to yoke to unite and sets out to do this initially with mind, body and soul and ultimately with the source.

Your practice will include : physical postures , breathing exercises, meditation and relaxation.

There is only one yoga but this can be interpreted by the various masters and teachers in different ways with an assortment of styles, personalities and objectives.

However, the ultimate is awakening to conscious blissful union, whichever style you choose to practice. The best way to understand yoga is to experience it.

Q: Who is yoga suitable for?

A: Everyone can practice Yoga in some form however different styles will suit different people. You should consider if you prefer a dynamic practice, gentle ,restorative or relaxing. Choose a teacher according to these preferences and styles. Most teachers will encourage you to work within your own ability in a class.

Q: What benefits does yoga bring?

A: The obvious physical benefits are flexibility, strength , improved posture and breathing. It also calms the mind and the nervous system, balances the endocrine system, lowers blood pressure, stimulates the internal organs and iliminates toxins. On a deeper level it will balance energy and emotions bringing a sense of peace, tranquility and union. Yoga treats mind body and soul as a whole.

It can seriously cause HAPPINESS AND WELL BEING

Q: Is yoga a religion ?

A: For me it is a mind body science and a journey into knowing the self as well as a spiritual journey. This experience teaches a way of life and a knowledge of a higher power/universe/cosciousness of which you are already a part of and awakening to. There is no dogma, blind faith or enforcements attached. It is based purley on experiencing in the present moment through the various practices . Each individual is free to take what they want from yoga so the choice is yours how deep you go. The physical practice is where most people start and many choose to stay.

The benefits/side effects alone make it well worth a try !

Q: What should I wear/bring?

A: Clothing that will allow you to stretch.

Bring a small blanket/,throw or heavier top to cover up in relaxation. A mat (you can order one in Linda's classes if you are without) and a bottle of water. Yoga is practiced in bare feet.

Q: Why might I choose to book a one 2 one session as well as attend a class?

A: These sessions are becoming increasingly popular. Sometimes students are recovering from injury or need to de-stress others might have been given a gift voucher, a few just enjoy the personal attention or want to improve alignment, some need help with personal practice and many have never experienced yoga and are nervous about going straight into a class. All valid reasons and Linda can help you with any of these.......... email to arrange time, day and place and get started !
