| What is YOGA ?
Yoga is an ancient science for holistic health which is over 5000 years old. People in the west mostly associate yoga with the physical postures, called asanas in sanscrit - but yoga leaves a much larger imprint that this. Hatha yoga is only one aspect of a vast holistic approach to health and getting in tune with our highter nature. It also offers pranayama, meditation and chanting not to mention the various tradition within hatha yoga itself.

| Why YOGA IN THE CITY ?
Yoga and nature have always been inextricably entwined. The aim of Yoga is, after all, to bring us back to our own true nature which is bliss. Practising yoga in a beautiful natural setting is obviously ideal and inspiring but not everyone has this possibility every day. That is why I started YOGA IN THE CITY - to show that yoga is available everywhere, also in the the middle of the city and in this case - in the heart of Europe.

| Yoga for ALL ages |

The beauty of YOGA is its suitability at every age - this is Harvey (left) doing setu bandasana (bridge pose) naturally at just 7 months! In fact the practice of yoga asanas (postures) can be adapted for every age and ability so there is no upper or lower age limit to yoga practice. Yoga can help you focus on your changing needs at various stages in your life, such as pre-natal yoga, kids yoga and senior yoga.

The Beauty of Yoga is that, with constancy, it brings greater self-awareness. The outer world is a reflection of your inner self, so focus on the beauty within yourself, your good qualities, your kindnesses, your gifts and talents. Whatever we give attention to increases and grows.
Everyone has some beauty in their soul, so we can seek it also in others.
Let us surround ourselves with things and people with a beautiful vibration, for we are all influenced by that which is around us. Through the practice of YOGA we attract people on the same wavelength, we tune more and more into the incredible wonder of ourselves, others and the planet. Our resonance becomes that of beauty.
