Hatha Yoga is a practice to nurture and relax the body, it is ideal for beginners and students looking to find strength and stability in their Posture practice (Asana). Hatha Yoga brings balance to the body by focussing on gentle movement, working towards improved postural alignment and breathwork practices (known as Pranayama) to help promote ease, concentration and optimal mental health, whilst exploring variations to make the practice your own.
It would be impossible to list all the positive aspects that Yoga has to offer on this sheet, and I would hope that through attending my classes I enthuse you to explore this fascinating subject on a deeper level.
Alongside many clinical and physical ailments, yoga can help to improve the following:
At Lifetime of yoga, my class will usually begin with a joint mobilising sequence known as Pawamuktasana, this sequence ensures that our joints are gently warmed and allows time to become aware of any tension or discomfort in our own bodies.
We will then bring our focus to a carefully selected series of postures (these are known as Asana), these will challenge our bodies to develop coordination, balance and strength – focus will also be directed to enhance efficient breathing and decluttering our minds.
Finally, the class will end with a restful and restorative period that is known as Shavasana, where we lay down on our mats, reflect upon how we feel after our practice and take the time to fully rest our bodies and minds.
