Yoga

Welcome to the Yoga Site…

Here you can learn all about yoga. Though this word means many things to many people (as we shall see), here in the west we usually consider the practice of yoga to be a form of exercise, based around the postures described in the ancient Hindu tradition of Hatha yoga.

The practice of yoga dates back many centuries and is central, in its varying forms, to the contemplative religions of the east, all of which have their roots in ancient India.

Outside of India, the term ‘yoga’ is used to describe the practice of attaining physical and spiritual health. The postures used are designed to exercise the body, whilst the often complex movements required allow us to focus our minds and free our spirits.

Many people combine the practice of yoga with meditation, but many others use the postures simply as a way to exercise the body.

Here you can learn all about the history of yoga, the different types of yoga, how yoga can help you, and many of the postures used.

Whether you are new to yoga and simply want to find out more about it, or are an accomplished practicioner looking for a useful online resource, you’ve come to the right place.
