Yoga
Yoga is an integrated mind-body practice that systematically re-wires your nervous system, changes your brain structure and alters your cellular chemistry.
While it builds great strength and flexibility, viewing yoga purely as a workout misses its true purpose.
Originating from the Sanskrit root word “yuj” (meaning to yoke or bind), yoga is designed as a holistic framework to help the mind, body, and breath work together in harmony.
At Dharma Yoga Centre, we have a very down to earth approach to our classes.
No previous experience is required, you don’t have to be “flexible” to practice Yoga.
The focus is to move and meditate with the breath.
This is your practice.

Yin
More than just rest.
Yin Yoga is a restorative practice, all about nourishing your Qi (energy) using the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Poses are generally floor based and held for 3-5 minutes - and are passive. No effort is required - let gravity do the work. Yin is suitable for all fitness levels.
Not only is this deeply relaxing and healing, it stretches and hydrates our Fascia, which helps us to clear stagnation, open our energy channels and clear emotional blockages.
You will leave this class feeling deeply rested, nourished and relaxed.
Restorative
Restorative yoga is a gentle, slow-paced style of yoga focused on deep physical, mental, and emotional relaxation through passive stretching and mindfulness.
Unlike more athletic forms of yoga, this therapeutic practice relies heavily on supportive props like bolsters, blankets, and blocks to fully hold the body's weight.
This complete support allows practitioners to effortlessly hold simple poses for extended periods, usually anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes.
By removing all muscular strain and physical tension, the practice shifts the body out of its stressed state and directly stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, which lowers the heart rate, slows down breathing, and promotes a deep sense of healing and calm.
