Claire Langlet Yoga

Yoga is a spiritual practice that originated in ancient India. The word Yoga is derived from the Sanskrit word “Yuj”, which means to unite, to join, to connect. Yoga is a practice that connects your body and mind.

Not only does it improve your physical health such as strength, balance and flexibility, it also improves your mental and spiritual wellbeing. As you flow through the practice, you use your breath to anchor yourself in the present moment, releasing any regrets about your past and any worries you may have about your future.

Yoga can help you navigate through life’s challenges by giving you the support and keys to manage stress, overwhelming emotions or an overactive mind.

MOVING MEDITATION

Yoga is a form of moving meditation. As we move through different asanas (poses), each breath initiates movement or helps you find stillness. With each breath you are brought back to the present moment. Synchronising the mind and breath creates a meditative state with movement. Your breath is therefore the foundation to your practice. Pranayama (breathwork) and meditation are tools that can be implemented both on and off the mat as part of a daily practice, creating a grounding energy to bring us back to our bodies and to the present moment.

COMING HOME TO YOURSELF

Yoga and mindfulness practices are amazing tools to help us feel at home in our own bodies. Sometimes stress, tension or trauma we may be holding on to make it difficult for us to be fully present within ourselves. Our body may be still, but our minds are elsewhere in the past or the future. Through yoga, we can cultivate presence by first focusing our attention on our breath and then our bodies as we move, creating a mindful practice. Bringing ourselves home to our body.

THE OUTER & INNER PRACTICE

Yoga has benefits for both our physical body and our mental wellbeing. The practice of yoga asanas encourages the body to move safely in different directions, assisting in opening the body to reduce stiffness, increase joint mobility working towards improved strength and flexibility. Yoga can also assist in nurturing your mental wellbeing by managing stress, anxiety, overwhelm and by releasing pent-up emotions. It is a great way to build resilience and to help you overcome challenging times with peace.
