Welcome to Mindful of Yoga

"Only the present is real. Balance is the state of the present - the here and now."

  BKS Iyengar

Yoga offers a wealth of benefits, not just for our physical health. Yoga helps to strengthen our bodies, calm our minds and a regular practice can bring a sense of wholeness and integration to our everyday life. Through the practice of yoga, breath awareness and mindful meditation we can learn to be in the present moment and to keep our consciousness alive to the present reality. Living in the Now, rather than thoughts of the past or worrying about the future, brings us true liberation and a sense of deep peace.

Increasingly clinical evidence is proving what the sages of this ancient philosophy knew thousands of years ago - that yoga and mindfulness have the transformative power to heal and restore us.
