Yoga is a hugely diverse ancient physical and spiritual discipline. The effects of practising yoga regularly are; extreme physical fitness, muscular strength and flexibility. Skeletal mobility, improved lung capacity. It aids sleep, joint function, improves posture and cardiovascular ability. In addition to these benefits is a vastly increased sense of calm.

The reason for this is that Yoga conditions the nervous system. The Poses work the nerves as deeply as they do the musculoskeletal system. Another reason why such a deep sense of calm is achieved through Yoga is that Pranayama or breath control is a significant aspect of Yoga practice. Increasing your lung capacity and learning to lengthen your breath has a huge physiological calming effect on the body.

The health giving properties of Yoga have a dramatic impact on illness. Psychological as well as physical complaints. Yoga can have an immediate effect on typical conditions like headaches, insomnia, anxiety, asthma, repetitive strain disorder, eczema, arthritis.

When practised over a long period of time yoga, like healing has the ability to totally transform your life.
