Allow your soul to go on an adventure and your body and mind to detox with each and every yoga pose. This style of yoga focuses on synchronizing movement with breath, while moving through flowing poses. The use of breath allows you to progress deeper into the pose.

What most people refer to as simply "yoga" is actually Hatha Yoga. Hatha Yoga is a system of yoga introduced by Yogi Swatmarama, a yogic sage in the 15th century in India. This particular system of yoga is the most popular one, and it is from which several other Styles of Yoga originated including Power Yoga, Bikram Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, and Kundalini Yoga.

The word "hatha" comes from the Sanskrit terms "ha" meaning "sun" and "tha" meaning "moon". Thus, Hatha Yoga is known as the branch of Yoga that unites pairs of opposites referring to the positive (sun) and negative (moon) currents in the system. It concentrates on the third (Asana) and fourth (Pranayama) steps in the Eight Limbs of Yoga.

Hatha Yoga tries to achieve balance between body and mind, as well as attempts to free the more subtle spiritual elements of the mind through physical poses or Asanas, Breathing Techniques or Pranayama, and Meditation.Some of the many benefits of yoga include, improvement in posture and breathing, increased tone, strength and flexibility. A greater ability to cope with stress and a feeling of calm.

What is the advantage of a Yoga One-to-One?
Yoga One-to-Ones take into account the needs of the individual. Personalising yoga in this way allows the practise to be based around your physical, emotional and mental needs, allowing a holistic approach to your yoga. Add to this an approach that is flexible enough to fit in around your arrangements, and you have the opportunity to get the very best out of your time.

How long does a Yoga One-to-One last?
The personalised yoga session lasts for an hour. Your needs are observed and discussed, and a bespoke routine is created specially for you, with the aim of bringing sustainable benefit to your life, in a controlled, measured and achievable way. This approach is very much the yoga of the individual - a way that gives you the best chance over the longer term of achieving steady improvement. Subsequent sessions will review your progress, listening and together discussing any adjustments to fine tune your routine. These sessions allow examination of areas of difficulty, so that you can be personally guided towards your goals.

How much does a Yoga One-to-One cost?
Your investment is £40.00 per session (1 hour) - Why not treat yourself once a month, you deserve it!
