Body and mind

Your time is precious and yoga is a brilliant way to make the most of your time. It is one of the few forms of exercise where the connection between mind and body is a given. Even the word ‘yoga’ is widely accepted as meaning ‘union,’ i.e. union of our physical, mental and emotional. Yoga states that the union of these enables us experience our true nature or in other words find contentment and peace. And we could all do with more of that in today’s frenetic world.

This idea of mind and body connection was lost in western culture but in recent years it has had a renaissance and been given credence in the scientific and medical community.

To get to the heart of it, yoga in a very ancient system ofn well-being and self-improvement. In the West we tend to focus the postures (asanas), breath (pranayama) and meditation (dhyana) but this is a tiny part of whole systematic approach on how to live a conscious life. As Socrates said the ‘unexamined life is not worth living.’
