Yoga
The word ‘Yoga’ comes from the Sanskrit root ‘yuj’, which means ‘to join’ or ‘to yoke’.
Yoga is an ancient art based on a harmonizing system of development for the body, mind and spirit. In the practice of Yoga the ultimate aim is one of self-development and self-realization.
Regular practise of yoga and mindful breathing helps keep the body strong and flexible; it also improves the functioning of the respiratory, circulatory, digestive and hormonal systems, and enhances sports performance. Practising yoga develops clarity of mind and emotional stability.
We follow a hatha yoga style, starting with warm up sequences, followed by
a series of poses (asanas) that focus on stability, posture, strength, and flexibility.
We often finish with some breathing techniques (pranayama) and
always relaxation (yoga nidra).
Please wear comfortable clothing that will enable you to stretch; wear layers so you can keep warm, particularly during relaxation, bring your own mat if you have one, and a blanket.

Mind Over Madness
In these changing times, make a renewed commitment to yourself to lead a healthy life. Here are some tips to help you find balance, stay focused and gain perspective.
It’s the mind of the times.
1. Exercise
When you exercise you are present in the moment and not focused on worries and concerns. Studies show that cardio vascular and resistance training can help reduce stress and boost endorphins. Try a minimum of 50 minutes of vigorous exercise most days of the week.
2. Get Enough Sleep
Insufficient can make it more difficult to cope with the normal challenges of daily life. Most adults need between 7-8 hours sleep to function optimally.
3. Eat Well
A
balanced diet high in fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins can help reduce stress by stabilizing blood sugar levels. Combine carbohydrates, protein and healthy fats at each meal to fuel and energise your body.
4. Pay it forward
Studies show that people who approach life with a positive attitude are less stressed. Begin and end every day by making a mental list of things for which you are grateful.
5. Live in the moment
Accept that some things are out of your control. Rather than worrying about what will happen next week, next month or next year, focus on making decisions that will lead you in the direction of your goals.
6. Get organised
Being disorganised can add to your stress level. Knowing where things are and reducing clutter lets you focus on the important things.
7. Meditate
Studies show that people who meditate regularly have more activity in their left frontal cortex and less activity in their amygdale - both of which is associated with calmer emotional states. There are many ways to meditate. Practice Yoga or Body Balance, walk in nature, sit quietly, spend time with your pet, have a bubble bath.
8. Say no when necessary
Avoid taking on more than you can accomplish. Do not feel guilty saying “no” to unnecessary obligations and responsibilities.
9. Hydrate
Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Water regulates body temperature, aids in the absorption of vitamins and nutrients and detoxifies the liver and kidneys.
10. Lean on your support system
People who have a strong social network of family and friends typically report less stress and a better ability to cope. Don’t be afraid to ask for support from close friends and family during these times.
