Taking a step onto a yoga mat may seem small in gesture however it often leads to something much, much bigger. For most people it begins their journey through a physical exercise practice, moving their body and breath, shifting dormant energy and lifting the mood of their feelings. As the practice deepens it becomes the growth of conscious awareness, the knowledge of oneself, the witness to existence. When the mind is open, free and liberated whilst the body is at ease, a practicing yogi can experience a state of bliss in being. This too shall pass, it is fleeting, and just like taking a daily bath to cleanse, one must continue to practice. To keep the experience re-occurring even the most senior Yogi’s still need to step onto the mat.
It’s at MoY where we offer you the chance to step onto the mat and practice with a small group of dedicated yogi’s. Our classes are designed to bring you closer to your teacher and the practices of yoga, with a maximum of 8 students per class. We believe in a multi-disciplinary approach to yoga, giving the aspirant a chance to broaden their knowledge and experiences of the practice. One yoga is better than another?…. that is a self-limiting belief, it is what is suited to you at any given moment in your life. From Hatha sun salutations, Vinyasa arm balances, Kundalini kriyas, Dharma talks and guided Yin meditations it’s all relevant in gathering your yogic knowledge and experiences.
