Mobility

What are the physical benefits of Yoga, especially when I already work out?

Mobility is control through your broadest possible range of movement (this differs from flexibility, which is your broadest range of movement without necessarily having that control).

Yoga trains your mobility. And many of the movements we work through are those that you are not using in your daily life or in your workouts.

Many of us spend most of our days moving through the sagittal plane- moving our arms and legs forwards and back for things like walking and driving. Yoga moves us through all the planes of movement- improving our mobility, helping us to feel better in our bodies- full of life, energy, less likely to injur ourselves.

I strongly believe that every single person can benefit from yoga.

What is yoga?

If yoga is the stilling of the fluctuations of the mind, how does an asana class encourage this?

Asana are the poses, or movements that are done in modern yoga classes. These asana, while only one part of yoga, are a huge (almost 100%) part of modern, western yoga.

By turning your attention inwards, to your own bodily sensations, while moving in time with your own breath, you achieve a very personal experience, unlike other movement classes.

This is why, while yoga may appear to be similar to other practices such as Pilates or stretching, it is experienced quite differently, which can be described as spiritual- even if you are only doing a simple asana class.

I TRIED to wait till December . . . But, I've the full on Christmas music in my car and kitchen already- is anybody else in the Christmas spirit early this year?

Speaking of Christmas spirit, Belarmine Community Centre Stepaside is accepting donations of food for those less well-off. It's just beside the Fresh supermarket. Drop in any day.

Weekends are getting busier now as we're in the lead up to Christmas 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

I really appreciate my yoga classes during this time.

Give yourself breaks little and often, to get through this busy season gracefully.
