Overview

WHAT IS YOGA?
~ Yoga, an ancient but perfect science, deals with the evolution of humanity. This evolution includes all aspects of one's being, from bodily health to self-realization. Yoga means union - the union of body with consciousness and consciousness with the soul. Yoga cultivates the ways of maintaining a balanced attitude in day-to-day life and endows skill in the performance of one's actions. ~
B.K.S. Iyengar

In Yoga it's about getting in tune with your body and working with your body to give it what it needs. You don't have to be super flexible to begin with Yoga. In fact, everyone can practice Yoga and benefit from it.

WHY PRACTICE YOGA?
There are a multitude of reasons to do yoga.  Simply to feel better is the best reason.
If that's not enough, here are some benefits from the today's Western Standpoint:

·  increases flexibility
·  integrates muscles for smoother movement
·  helps with posture
·  soothes the nerves
·  helps to alleviate pain in the body
·  lengthens and tones muscles
·  builds deep strength
·  relaxes and calms the mind (depression, anxiety)
·  speeds recovery from injury

WHAT IS SMART YOGA?
If you have ever observed a Yoga class you will find that many of the practitioners are guided by their Ego rather than by their teacher. Yoga poses which are guided by our Ego can lead to injury and frustration. Listening to the body and being aware of your physical  ability and using your intellect to give the response to your needs- that's the Smart way of practicing Yoga- that's what we call Smart Yoga.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A SMART YOGA LESSON?
The first session will include a 30-minute free consultation and we will also provide a beginners kit (mat, blocks, straps etc.) for the first yoga session. You get to try and see if Yoga is something that you would like to continue with before you purchase any Yoga items.

It's important that you understand why you are doing this poses in this specific way; what kind of effects those poses have and understand the difference of these poses. We will encourage you to use your intellect when you move from one pose to another.
