About Yoga
Yoga originated in ancient India as a spiritual practice of self-enquiry. The teachings of Classical Yoga address the causes of human suffering and suggest that freedom from suffering is possible if the distracted mind can be brought to stillness.
Modern yoga offers a practice based on ethical principles and grounded in the wisdom of the body moving and breathing. Yoga teaches self-awareness and allows us to free ourselves from negative patterns that cause pain and frustration.
Practising yoga brings many benefits: greater strength, suppleness, and stamina; reduced anxiety and stress; a capacity for stillness and peace of mind. Yoga is not a dogmatic system and people of many faith traditions and none find yoga invaluable in their spiritual journey towards simplicity and peace.

Meditation
The fast pace of modern life often leaves us feeling stressed and anxious as we try to split our attention between competing demands. In meditation we move from the busyness of the external world to the still, spacious, silence within, enabling us to connect with that aspect of the self which is innately peaceful and joyful.
