Yoga is an activity that provides overall wellness – physically, emotionally, and mentally. Through regular practice, yoga can increase flexibility, strength, and range of motion to the body. There are a variety of different techniques and focuses in the practice of yoga; however, all include postures and movement, breath and body awareness, and a meditative focus.

Hatha Yoga

Recharge and renew. Connect with breath to open the body and calm the mind. Explore postures with gentle flows, meditation and deep relaxation to release tension and feel more centred. You will work to increase coordination, flexibility, balance and strength.

Yoga can help slow down the process of ageing by maintaining muscle elasticity and flexibility, reduce the swelling of joints while strengthening the muscles, engagement of the mind for alertness and wakefulness, as well as increase overall mobility, balance and stability.
