What is Yoga?
Yoga means union or oneness. It is the union of mind, breath and body. Yoga has been practiced for thousands of years. There are many different styles of Yoga. Prana Yoga teaches Traditional Intuative Yoga.
Yoga is non - competitive. It is not about tieing yourself in pretzel like knots. No experience or flexibility is necessary to practice Yoga. The aim of Yoga is to calm the mind, tune in to the breath and open the heart. It is about listening to your body and recognising where you are today, at this moment. Right now.
Yoga uses asana (exercises) pranayama (breathing techniques) and Meditation or Nidra Vidya (relaxation) to work towards balancing the body, mind and emotions. Yoga encourages an attitude of acceptance and compassion.
