Hi! I’m Mandi and I am so happy you are here!

What is Yoga?

Simply put Yoga is a group of physical, mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines which originated in ancient India.

The word 'Yoga' is derived from the Sanskrit root 'Yuj', meaning 'to join' or 'to yoke' or 'to unite'. As per Yogic scriptures the practice of Yoga leads to the union of individual consciousness with that of the Universal Consciousness, indicating a perfect harmony between the mind and body, man & nature.

With the practice of yoga, we experience personal transformation through the mind/body connection - allowing for the pathway to peace to be revealed. In prayer we ask, in meditation and yoga we listen.

My personal approach to the practice of yoga is integral - a balance between the aspects of Pranayama (breathing), Asana (poses and movement) and Meditation.

By virtue of the practice of Asana, our bodies are naturally strengthened and flexibility increased. We learn the art of focusing on our breathing and gain the knowledge and ability to calm ourselves naturally with Pranayama. With meditation we are able to receive perspective and guidance.

I hope you’ll join me to learn all that Yoga can do for you!
