Yoga is an ancient Indian practice, it is a fully tested system of process for change, which effects the physical body, the mind, the emotions and the spirit. Through yoga we can transform ourselves, starting by working with our bodies and focusing in on the breath, then into meditation which works directly with the mind. With the mind quiet and the senses withdrawn we are focused inwards; it is this gradual focus inwards that can lead to a state of inner peace. Yoga is a truly transformational practice for both the body and the mind.
Yoga is for everyone, whatever size, shape or age. You don't have to be flexible to do yoga, in fact, if you are not flexible, then yoga may be especially helpful for you!

In recent years Mindfulness meditation has increasingly been used to enhance health and well being. Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally.
Benefits of mindfulness include: Stress reduction, focus, boosts memory, less emotionally reactive, relationship satisfaction, fear modulation and improved well-being.
The practice helps us to see more clearly the patterns of the mind and teaches us to engage with the present moment, rather than being caught up in thoughts about the past or the future.
