When participating in yoga Brookvale in New South Wales (NSW) you learn many skills, one of which is to breathe in slowly, take your time and slow down. While yoga as a practice can have you breaking out in a sweat, the benefits of yoga are not just exercise and strength. The benefits include a mindful practice, one where you leave everything else behind in the world and focus, not on the news, not on your kids, not on work, but on your breathing, on you and your body. You focus on overall health and wellbeing.
So many kinds of yoga
If you are new to yoga lessons and you hear people throwing words around like Ashtanga, Iyengar, Yin or Restorative, don’t worry. All forms of yoga use the same principles, the same practice and the same poses. Some yogas are slower than others. The basic principle behind yoga is breathwork and poses or positions. Hatha yoga is the original yoga form, and includes sun salutations, and then each pose is practised and held for a while. Yin is a flow form of Hatha. Ashtanga is fast. Iyengar uses props. Restorative is about restoring your mind and body. Some call it communal nap time! You can try all practices until you find the practice that is right for you. They are all right for you, yoga is a beautiful practice.
For yoga you only need a pair of comfortable clothes, bare feet or socks, and a yoga mat. Most studios provide mats, and they also provide props such as straps, bolsters and eye bags.Yes, eye bags for the slow and mindful meditation at the end of a practice.
Yoga has taken off worldwide and yoga Brookvale NSW is a practice that is open, inclusive, beautiful and available. Chat to the teachers and do a trial class.
