About Yoga
"YOGA IS A LIGHT, WHICH ONCE LIT, WILL NEVER DIM. THE BETTER YOUR PRACTICE, THE BRIGHTER THE FLAME.”
BK LYENGAR
Yoga is not a religion but a physical practice that encompasses three main components:
exercise (asanas)
breathing (pranayama)
relaxation (meditation)
Yoga is a Sanskrit word that translates into the process of uniting the mind, body and spirit. Yoga is an ancient practice that originated in India and has developed over thousands of years to embrace a wide range of styles and disciplines.
The practice of yoga is a journey of self discovery, it really doesn’t matter how flexible you are or if you can touch your toes or not. With regular practice you should start to see small changes in your body and to the way you feel.
Whilst working as a physiotherapist, Bethany discovered the practice of Yoga and its many benefits; the freedom of movement, the quietening of the mind and the general sense of balance and peace it can bring to a hectic modern life. Bethany has completed yoga teacher training in India and Bali. She has an advanced teacher training 500 hour qualification as well as a certificate in Yoga for Pregnancy. With the guidance of a physiotherapist you can practice yoga confident in the knowledge that any poses can be modified to meet your needs irrespective of your level of ability. Bethany offers yoga tuition in a class setting or as a private one to one session.
