What is Yoga?

Yoga is the union of body, mind and spirit. Yoga has been practiced for years as a gentle, but powerful means of achieving strength, flexibility, stillness and balance. It can also be described as a spiritual practice in which we can directly access the wisdom of life.

The word Yoga derives from the Sanskrit word ‘yuj’ which means ‘to unite’ ~ uniting our soul with mind and body and allowing our essential nature to bring about balance and harmony.

The regular practice of Yoga can help to reduce stress and fatigue, allowing energy, creativity and an inner awareness to become a natural state of being.

“Cultivate stillness in your body and mind”

one exhaust oneself by trying to perform impossible tasks. One should learn from nature by observing flowing water...”
