Why join the Yoga classes?

Yoga has been around for 5,000 years, it is an ancient art and science from India, originally designed to strengthen and align the body, quieten and focus the mind for meditation. The Asanas (postures) were orally passed down in Sanskrit by the ancient sages then drafted into drawings and poetry. There are various schools of yoga varying in name and style, all adapted from classical Raja, Hatha Yoga. The practise of yoga strengthens and helps to purify the nervous system so we can most clearly percieve and interact in the world in a concious and positive manner. The word Yoga means, literally to yoke or join. In yoga we integrate the mind, body & spirit into one cohesive unit. All one needs is an open mind to partake!
