Types of Yoga

Based around the idea that the mind, body and spirit are all connected, the basic aim of yoga is to get all three working together to both develop physical strength and create internal focus.

So, not only is yoga a great workout - it’s also an excellent opportunity to take time out and calm yourself internally.

Did you know? As well as increasing flexibility and muscle strength, yoga can also help to expel unwanted toxins and improve circulation.

Health benefits of yoga include:

*Increased flexibility

*Increased strength and muscle tone

*Improved posture

*Improved circulation and skin tone

*Can reduce anxiety and stress

There are many different types of yoga, meaning it can be slow and relaxing or it can be intense and challenging! If you haven’t done yoga before, I’d recommend taking beginner classes to find a practice that works for you - and to make sure you learn the positions correctly.

That said, there are some basic positions it can help to be familiar with before going to classes - click here for breakdowns of what they are.
