Yoga Wellbeing offers classes throughout South London throughout Clapham and Brixton. Our classes incorporate Hatha Yoga that share the benefits of breath control, guided relaxation and yoga postures.
People come to yoga for various reasons
to improve their physical health, to relax, to relieve stress, to calm their mind, to feel more peaceful – and others come along just to find out what it is all about. Yoga is concerned with all the above and much more, so whatever your reasons are for coming along they should be fulfilled.
Yoga means ‘to unite’ and is a way of restoring a healthier balance to body and mind
By concentrating on the postures one calms down, therefore by stretching the body is relieved of tension and one is ready to relax. The good thing about yoga is that you are never too old or too young to feel the benefits. Vigorous exercise may make a fit and healthy person feel good about their body but it is not suitable for everyone and does not always provide the relaxation which people need. With yoga it doesn’t matter how stiff or out of condition you are, as long as you are dedicated and patient. The postures should be done with care and without straining, so by taking your body to its natural limit you will, in time, see an improvement. The postures and sequences of postures have different effects – stimulating, calming, energising, building stamina, concentration, promoting sleep, etc.
Most yoga classes begin by very gently working through the postures which are called asanas, starting with those which are simple and progressing on to those which are more advanced. The sessions will include warming up, practising the asanas, breath awareness and deep breathing, and relaxation. Although there is a need to work seriously to feel the benefits that yoga has to offer, there is usually some fun too.
