All About Yoga

The frequent practice of this discipline will enable you to understand and know yourself better inside and out. The benefits of yoga will help you in all aspects of your life both mentally and physically.

One of the far-reaching benefits of yoga is the uncanny sense of awareness that it develops in the practitioner of an impending health disorder or infection. This in turn enables the person to take pre-emptive corrective action.

Massaging of ALL Organs of the Body – Yoga is perhaps the only form of activity which massages all the internal glands and organs of the body in a thorough manner, including those – such as the prostate - that hardly get externally stimulated during our entire lifetime. Yoga acts in a wholesome manner on the various body parts. This stimulation and massage of the organs in turn benefits us by keeping away disease and providing a forewarning at the first possible instance of a likely onset of disease or disorder

Increasing Flexibility – yoga has positions that act upon the various joints of the body including those joints that are never really on the ‘radar screen’ let alone exercised.

Increasing lubrication of the joints, ligaments and tendons – likewise, the well-researched yoga positions exercise the different tendons and ligaments of the body.


Surprisingly it has been found that the body which may have been quite rigid starts experiencing a remarkable flexibility in even those parts which have not been consciously work upon. Why? It is here that the remarkable research behind yoga positions proves its mettle. Seemingly unrelated “non strenuous” yoga positions act upon certain parts of the body in an interrelated manner. When done together, they work in harmony to create a situation where flexibility is attained relatively easily.

Complete Detoxification – By gently stretching muscles and joints as well as massaging the various organs, yoga ensures the optimum blood supply to various parts of the body. This helps in the flushing out of toxins from every nook and cranny as well as providing nourishment up to the last point. This leads to benefits such as delayed ageing, energy and a remarkable zest for life.

Excellent toning of the muscles – Muscles that have become flaccid, weak or slothy are stimulated repeatedly to shed excess flab and flaccidity.


Is Yoga For You

Young and old alike can choose yoga as a form of exercise. Recognized by the medical profession, yoga is used for the prevention and treatment of many chronic diseases.  Even people with conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and asthma can benefit from increased range of motion, muscle strength, and endurance through yoga.

In the treatment of osteoporosis, a combination of diet and performing weight-bearing exercises is beneficial. Because you bear your own weight during a yoga session, this low-impact form of exercise is perfect for people who cannot enjoy jogging, running, or other high-impact activities. As we age our muscles tend to get stiffer, creating more pressure on the joints, so by regular stretching we prevent this gradual stiffening and deterioration of the joints and giving a more rejuvenating effect on the whole body.


Pregnancy is an exciting time to incorporate yoga into an exercise program. Stretching and toning muscles and learning breathing techniques can help expecting moms prepare for labour. And after birth, yoga is an excellent way to relieve stress and increase energy levels.


Our classes are scientifically designed to work every muscle, tendon, joint, organ, and gland, while moving fresh, oxygenated blood throughout your whole body.

The classes are taught in a supportive atmosphere that provides individualised attention and encouragement.  Our program is therapeutic and is designed to alleviate stress while creating peace of mind.
