Yoga’s Power of 5

Yoga’s unique power is that it works physically, emotionally, mentally and intuitively all at once. Physical and art therapies may touch these but yoga has a holistic, direct and long-term effect on:

  • Brain plasticity and pathways

  • Stress reduction

  • Strength and flexibility

  • Emotional release

  • Inner confidence and contentment

Yoga For All Abilities is a gentle, mindful methodology that works very deeply, and is accessible for any person who would like to try.

Please see further universal details below ;)

#1 - The impact of yoga’s movements

Moving gives us access to more energy, through providing greater blood flow to our muscles and tissues.

It also releases feel-good hormones.

If you or your child do not have the mobility of a typical person, do not worry… even through joint movements in time with the breath, greater energy levels and better sleep can be felt.

Over the long-term, yoga postures and breathing can significantly improve both flexibility and strength.

#2 - Stress reduction

We all experience daily external and internal stressors, some of which is necessary for activity and growth. However, excess stress means too much production of the stress hormone cortisol.

High levels of cortisol are associated with weakened immunity and inflammation. As well as higher

When stress is chronic

  • I came to do some stretching and found the class was very relaxed, very accessible and joyful! The way we moved through the poses it felt very effortless, the hour was over just like that. There wasn't a moment where I was thinking, I can't do this, or I don't want to.
