WHAT IS YOGA?

Yoga means union, or to bring together. Through the practice of yoga we are aiming to integrate mind, body and spirit and to open energy channels in the body in order to fulfil our potential for vibrant good health. This includes a strong, supple body and a clear and calm mind.

There are many ways in which yoga can be practised. Most in the Western culture begin with physical postures (asana) and work with the breath (pranayama). This kind of yoga is known as Hatha Yoga. Some well known forms of Hatha Yoga are Astanga Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, Bikram Yoga, Viniyoga and Kundalini Yoga.

Astanga and Anusara Yoga, Sarah's main influences, are practices of flowing, dynamic movements synchronised with the breath. Sarah pays great attention to adapting postures to suit each student's capabilities and to teaching good alignment in postures without interrupting the flow of the practice.
