Move for WELLbeing

Daily movement and exercise is key to good health at any age. Motion is lotion and movement is medicine. On average we should move our bodies a minimum of 150 minutes a week to optimise wellbeing. Yoga activates our Qi and vital force energy supporting muscle, bone and joint health at any life stage with many benefits. It aids balance, circulation, lymph drainage and supports restful sleep and mindfulness.

The Philosophy of Yoga: The 8 Limbs

In a world of perfect Yoga poses and filtered fitness inspiration trends of the day, find some stillness to appreciate the foundation and philosophy behind Yoga which some forget or unaware of. Yoga is a holistic wellbeing practice that connects body, mind and breath to live well with balance.

At the heart of yoga is a foundation known as the 8 Limbs of Yoga, laid out over 2,000 years ago in the Yoga Sutras by Patanjali. These are gentle guiding principles to help you live with more peace, purpose, and presence. We all have our own journeys and stories often not on a straight path.

Yoga is for everyone, it is a way of life and a moving meditation. Each pose is accessible and can be modified in tune with your body and range of motion. There is a style of Yoga and pace that suits everyone from gentle beginners Hatha to the disciplined and dynamic set sequence series of Ashtanga.
