So, what exactly is yoga all about? Yoga, which originated in India over 5,000 years ago, translates as 'Union'. In the classes offered at Leigh Yoga, you'll experience a harmonious blend of physical postures (Asana), breath practices (Pranayama), relaxation, and meditation. These practices have a profoundly positive impact on the body, mind, and subtle aspects of our being.

The asanas work wonders on the physical level, strengthening, stretching, and relaxing the various systems in our bodies. From the skeletal and muscular systems to the digestive and cardiovascular systems, yoga supports and nurtures them all. Additionally, the asanas enhance the immune system, boosting overall health and well-being.

Pranayama, the breath work component of yoga, teaches participants how to breathe properly, strengthening their immune system, calming their mind, and energising their body. By mastering the art of conscious breathing, practitioners unlock the power of their breath, which leads to various physical and mental benefits.

Lastly, the meditation practice at Leigh Yoga allows participants to cultivate a quiet and peaceful mind. Through meditation, one can experience heightened alertness and a sense of balance. Meditation shifts our attention from constant thinking to simply being, resulting in increased self-awareness and an appreciation for life's simple joys.

Yoga and Mindful Meditation offer a myriad of benefits, both on and off the mat. From clarity and peace of mind to anxiety reduction and improved concentration, the positive effects of yoga and meditation ripple into various areas of our lives. Furthermore, regular practice has been shown to help alleviate insomnia, relieve tension-related pain and headaches, and even lower high blood pressure.
