Delhi Yoga balances the mind, body and spirit

Delhi Yoga is not a gym or "exercise" centre -- so there are no distracting clanging of weights, playing children, or loud music.  We often have soft music playing, and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. 

At Delhi Yoga we teach focus on the "whole" person, not just physical strength and flexibility our classes are not just another type of aerobics -- they are disciplines which can help you feel better in all aspects of your life.  

Delhi Yoga show you techniques which will help to relieve stress and increase your energy, and which can be done in just a few minutes any time during the day.

Delhi Yoga gives you individual attention we know that everybody is different, as is every body.  We can show you how to modify moves and poses to fit your body at the level you are currently, and what the "next step" is when your body and mind are ready.

When a move or pose is uncomfortable for you, delhi yoga will take the time to show you how to modify it, or we can recommend a different movement or pose that will give the same results.

Connection With Soul

Give yoga a try and discover what it can do for body and mind.
A central premise in yoga is "everything is connected." That's clear when looking at the health and fitness benefits of yoga that have long been reported by practitioners and are now being confirmed by scientific research.

1. STRESS RELIEF. Delhi Yoga reduces the physical effects of stress on the body. By encouraging relaxation, yoga helps to lower the levels of the stress hormone cortisol. Related benefits include lowering blood pressure and heart rate, improving digestion and boosting the immune system as well as easing symptoms of conditions such as anxiety, depression, fatigue, asthma and insomnia.
    

2. PAIN RELIEF. Delhi Yoga can ease pain. Studies have demonstrated that practicing yoga asanas (postures), meditation or a combination of the two, reduced pain for people with conditions such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, auto-immune diseases and hypertension as well as arthritis, back and neck pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, eczema, irritable bowel syndrome and other chronic conditions. Some practitioners report that even emotional pain can be eased through the practice of yoga.

3. BETTER BREATHING. Delhi Yoga teaches people to take slower, deeper breaths. This helps to improve lung function, trigger the body's relaxation response and increase the amount of oxygen available to the body.

4. FLEXIBILITY.Delhi Yoga helps to improve flexibility and mobility, increasing range of movement and reducing aches and pains. Many people can't touch their toes during their first yoga class. Practitioners begin to use the correct muscles to make the movement and, over time, the ligaments, tendons and muscles gradually lengthen and elasticity is increased. These gradual changes can mean that more and more poses are possible.

5. INCREASED STRENGTH. Delhi Yoga asanas (postures) use every muscle in the body, helping to increase strength literally from head to toe. And, while the postures practiced in yoga strengthen the body, they also provide an additional benefit of helping to relieve muscular tension.

6. WEIGHT MANAGEMENT. Delhi Yoga (even less vigorous styles) can aid weight control efforts by reducing the cortisol levels as well as by burning excess calories and reducing stress. Yoga also encourages healthy eating habits and provides a heightened sense of well being and self esteem.

7. IMPROVED CIRCULATION. Delhi Yoga helps to improve circulation and, as a result of various poses, more efficiently moves oxygenated blood to the body's cells.

8. CARDIOVASCULAR CONDITIONING. Delhi Yoga practice can provide cardiovascular benefits by lowering resting heart rate, increasing endurance and improving oxygen uptake during exercise.

9. BETTER BODY ALIGNMENT. Delhi Yoga helps to improve body alignment, resulting in better posture and helping to relieve back, neck, joint and muscle problems.

10. FOCUS ON THE PRESENT. Delhi Yoga helps us to focus on the present, to become more aware and to help create mind body health. It opens the way to improved coordination, reaction time and memory.
