Yoga is a discipline, a part of which includes breath control, simple meditation, and the adoption of specific bodily postures called asanas which aim to squeeze your  internal organs. It is widely practiced for health and relaxation. 

 The word Yoga is derived from the ancient Sanskrit language meaning  (to unite) which refers to merging of individual Consciousness with universal Consciousness. It can be defined as "'mastery over the modifications of mind'.

Yoga is not just a sequence of only physical postures. It is a multi layered awareness connecting your physical emotional mental and your spiritual self (no one else!) There are many pathways to achieve a calm state, however yoga is proven over  history that it is a powerful and fast pathway to inner peace and greater happiness and understanding of life and self.

Yoga cultivates health and well-being. With regular practice yoga will cultivate health and happiness, and a greater sense of self-awareness and higher consciousness for yourself.

Everyone has to start as a beginner. It’s only human to feel self conscious starting something new, especially something as daunting as a first yoga class. 

Going to your first yoga class can be intimidating, and for some, this goes on up to your second, fifth, or even tenth yoga class. There is always going to be someone in class who is stronger, more flexible, or more advanced than you.

The first thing I like to teach new students who are thinking about practicing yoga is to understand that yoga is not about competition. What your neighbor’s body can do today has no connection to what yours can do.

Make sure you are wearing something comfortable.

 Loose cotton pants, or leggins, track pants and a tee-shirt is ideal.  The room is warm and cosy and you are covered with a blanket.  Sometimes after a healing many people can feel bit cold so bring along a warm top to wear afterwards.

You will need to allow for at least two and a half hours for the session.

The healing and specific movements begin with a discussion and a lovely cup of organic herbal tea. The discussion is an important integral part of the healing as it allows you to become comfortable with the space, yourself and the therapist.

Have you been stretching or have you been mimicking movements that you recognize as Stretching? Adapting a stretch to the actual in-the-moment experience of the individual is simply the most important determinant of whether or not a stretch is going to be effective.

Regularly stretching your body allows for increased flexibility and joint range of motion: Flexible muscles can improve your daily performance. Tasks such as lifting packages, bending to tie your shoes or hurrying to catch a bus become easier and less tiring

The role of a Stretch Therapist is to evaluate  current fitness level, and then design, implement, and supervise an appropriate program, based on the stated goals. Stretch Therapy has many benefits. By stretching different specific groups of muscles such as the back, legs, arms, shoulders, or neck, they help to tone and strengthen those muscles. The stretches also help release of toxins in those specific muscle groups. This in turn leads to release of stress and fatigue and leaves you feeling fresh and re-energized

Yoga Stretch Therapy also help to tone and massage internal organs in the chest and abdomen, such as the lungs, heart, liver, pancreas, spleen, stomach, intestines and kidneys. The functions of these organs are improved. This has many indirect benefits. For example, the lungs take in more oxygen, the heart is able to pump better and carry more oxygen-rich blood to all part of the body, the stomach, intestines, pancreas, liver and spleen release more digestive enzymes, while the kidneys do a better job of expelling waste and toxins.
