YOGAIf you're like the millions of people who practice yoga you're aware that it is a wonderful way to improve your flexibility, balance, muscle tone and endurance.

A great experience - with a variety of exercises and mental relaxation. A lovely atmosphere, good company, excellent lunch. Altogether a good boost in my 80th year! Diana Tyler A hugely enjoyable and relaxing day. The day was well balanced with asana, meditation and Ayurvedic advice. I slept more soundly that night than I had for ages. Years ago I hated my first experience of yoga. Primarily because the focus was purely on the asana and it felt very competitive I compared myself to everyone else and thought I was useless! Having experienced The Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga I now appreciate that yoga is so much more than the physical poses. I don’t think any more about what everyone else is doing – I focus on myself and seek to learn and improve within the limits of my own body. I would heartily recommend the day if you want to take time out for yourself and learn more with like-minded people. I guarantee that you will definitely leave feeling more calm, centred and relaxed than when you arrive. Melanie Richardson
“Wonderful day – fantastic yoga Nidra” Tricia Suffling Fantastic day …I have done yoga and meditation before but as two different things, but today has been one of the best experiences because of the combination of yoga, meditation, Ayurveda , crystals etc. The whole day was continuously informative . I haven’t felt so relaxed in years. Even if we could live part of our lives with the information you have given us it would be 100% better! Stephen Ross November Weekend retreat I have felt very reflective since returning home about the whole experience and although some is difficult to articulate the main thing that comes to mind is the aura of being so grounded, something that I don't think I have felt for nearly three years. In the past week I can honestly say that I have had moments of pure happiness. Caught myself singing in the car today! I enjoyed meeting such lovely human beings and feeling such harmony in that we were all there for the same reason. Yourself as leader was inspirational and my aim is to continue my quest for further spiritual peace and remain as still as you in meditation! Stevie Wilson

For some people even a gentle Pilates class may feel too much, but this shouldn’t be the case with the yoga.The image to the left is that of your chakras which are energy centers along the spine. The chakras were envisioned as wheels or vortices of life force by the ancient seers, they are associated with major neural networks or hormonal systems. By working on the chakras we can create healing & transformation in our lives, just as an acupuncturist works with needles and a reflexologist with hands we can use the physical Asana, meditation techniques and primordial sound to clear the channels. We sponsor a child in Haiti and their community through Action Aid with some of the proceeds from the yoga classes and have done so since April 2009. We also support some of the most disadvantaged communities in India with our products from our studio shop. please see our YouTube clips explaining how to do backbends safely http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaRPejcyc_E
