What Is Yoga?

About 10 years ago I started out learning yoga through raja yoga classes and a few years later I found that gentle hatha yoga can help support my path. I found that hatha yoga helps with relaxation, focus, clarity of mind, also brings subtle benefits, physical, energy & psychemotional through the practise of asana & pranayama.

Through gentle hatha yoga, we practise gentle heating & cooling. This brings the effect of increasing our personal awareness. It makes possible deep relaxation.

Gentle hatha yoga brings good health, by way of balance to the parasympathetic & sympathetic nervous systems, the ida & pingala, and enables us to able to energise and relax our bodies effectively.

When we follow yoga using our intuition, we can explore the kosha bodies (annamaya, pranamaya, manomaya, vijnanamaya, annandamaya) in our own pace with guidance & encouragement.

Yoga is patience also, we are not doing (yoga) for the sake of results, we are doing for the sake of doing at each moment.

Yoga is serving others, to help other people relieving suffering and reaching their potential.

Yoga is love and devotion.
