WHAT IS YOGA?
Yoga is a practical art, science and philosophy that aims at uniting the body, mind and breath. Yoga is an ancient Indian body of knowledge that dates back more than 5000 years ago. The word "Yoga" came from the Sanskrit word "yuj" which means "to unite or integrate." Yoga then is about the union of a person's own consciousness and the universal consciousness. Ancient Yogis had a belief that in order for man to be in harmony with himself and his environment, he has to integrate the body, the mind, and the spirit. The Yogis formulated a way to achieve and maintain this balance and it is done through exercise, breathing, and Meditation.
WHAT IS ASANS?
In yoga the physical exercises are called “Asans” (The Steady Postures). Asans are the third limb of yoga sutras relating to the eight limbs of yoga. Unlike other forms of exercises the Yoga Asans (The Steady Postures) are none violent and provide very gentle stretching postures. Yoga Asans lubricate the joints, strengthen the muscles, ligaments, tendons, in fact all parts of the body. The beauty of the Asans is that they tone the Nervous System and improve the blood circulation which of course will release the tensions of modern day living.
What is yoga therapy?
Yoga Therapy aims to be both preventative and curative. It tailors and adapts classical yoga practices to suit the individual needs of people with specific health problems such as asthma, arthritis, back pain and ME. There is nothing mystical about it - it is simply about understanding your own body and its limitations and about thinking positively. It keeps the body supple and mobile and keeps the joints moving.
