WHY YOGA? Everyday, millions of people around the world practice yoga to improve their wellbeing. While the origins of yoga are debatable, there is no doubt that the benefits of this old tradition have survived the test of time over many centuries. The name literally means “to unite” reflecting the core yoga philosophy of uniting the wellness of mind, body, and spirit. Originating in ancient hundreds, perhaps thousands, of years ago, the practice of yoga was popularized to the rest of the world over the past few decades. By separating the core values of mind and body fitness from the theological and religious aspects often associated with its origins, the practice of yoga became accessible to people of all backgrounds and traditions. The modern practice of yoga emphasizing discipline and control over body and mind fitness and aspiring to the wholesome wellness of the individual is a welcoming concept to all. The benefits of yoga, which have withstood the test of time over many centuries, have been verified by modern science in contemporary studies showing the value of yoga exercises for various present-day ailments such as low back pain, heart disease and depression. If you have not tried it yet, it is about time. There is something in yoga for everyone, and Naya is your home for a new beginning.

WHY PILATES? Pilates is a physical fitness discipline developed by the German exercise specialist Joseph Pilates in the early part of the previous century. It is estimated that millions of people around the world practice Pilates on a regular basis. The practice of Pilates is focused on disciplined movements and coordinated breathing. It is based on the six original principles of concentration and intense focus, control over every aspect of every movement, centering motion over a “powerhouse” of muscles in the center of your body, efficient and elegant flow of movement, precision in every move, and deep and coordinated breathing. With these six guiding principles, the Pilates system offers a wide range of exercises catering to different needs and limitations of individuals. The intensity of exercise can then be adjusted over time as individual endurance and flexibility progresses. Pilates can be performed using a simple mat, where your own body acts as the source of resistance, or a reformer, a specialized machine with pulleys and springs originally developed by Pilates creator Joseph Pilates. When performed properly, Pilates builds strength, develops endurance and flexibility, and improves coordination, control and balance.NAYA offers a unique portfolio of pilates classes lead by a highly qualified team of instructors.
