... more about Yoga & Meditation

Breathing is a natural body mechanism that tends to be overlooked and very often incorrect. Most of us tend to breathe shallowly, without giving it a second thought. Yogic breathing is conscious, with full awareness and the benefits are enormous. It utilises full lung capacity, removing fatigue and headaches, improving concentration and releasing the vital energy stored in our bodies.

Conditions that can be helped with breathing techniques include: asthma, sinusitis, high blood pressure, eczema, ear and nose infections.

Asanas are special postures design to be held for an extended period of time without effort or strain, therefore it is very important not to push oneself beyond the limits of the one's body. Asanas help balance the whole body, giving physical awareness, focus, flexibility and suppleness.

Relaxation tends to be more difficult than it seems. Our lives are very busy, fast and demanding. Most daily tasks are performed in a hurry. It is only when we suffer from stress related disorders that we stop and try to slow down. Overlooked, but how very important, relaxation is needed to stay in touch with ourselves, our bodies, minds and souls. Only then we can be creative, healthy and productive.

Yoga offers a range of relaxation techniques.

Meditation cleanses our minds of mundane, everyday thoughts and worries and helps to tune into higher consciousness and the universal soul. There are lots of techniques to keep still the mind. Regular practice brings the most benefits. These benefits include:

freedom from stress, tension and anxiety
better sleep
increased immunity
heightened creativity
fewer headaches
reduction of high blood pressure.
