"Everyone wants to be happy, it’s that simple. Yoga is about realizing your inherent happiness. It exists in each and every one of us and the path of Yoga provides us with a very practical means to awaken this joy, that is our natural state of being."

What is Yoga?

 

Yoga is an ancient system of physical and mental exercises designed to instil a sense of tranquillity and wellbeing in the practitioner. Yoga is learning to come back to yourself. It’s finding your limits, expanding your boundaries, developing your potential and being able to truly relax into who you are. Yoga means “unity” or “oneness” and on a practical level this means integration of the body, the mind and the heart.

 

It is important to note that Yoga is not a religion, rather it is a science of harmony and positive living that has been used for millennia and it will give rise to health and happiness to anyone who incorporates the basic principles into their daily lives.
