Hatha Yoga is for anyone interested in the general cultivation of the human spirit. Through a regular practice the individual will gain many benefits including vitality and strength. Other effects include detoxification of the blood and internal organs, and a strengthening of the immune system. This, in turn, will reduce stress levels and negative emotions, enhance clarity of mind and attentiveness, all of which will give a sense of contentment to the practitioner.On another level Yoga is the means by which man can discover and access his inner essence. It is the process by which this result is attained that is called Yoga.CLASSESMONDAYS7.15-8.15 Shadow Yoga balakrama prelude at The Life Centre, Notting Hill Gate(booking essential through me.)12.15-13.15 The Third Space, SohoTUESDAYS7-8am Virgin Active, Kensington WEDNESDAYS12.30-2pm The life Centre, Notting HillTHURSDAYS7-8am Virgin Active, KensingtonFor private classes go to contact page

The Yogi does not pass his time in some vague meditation. He is constantly occupied by an intensive work which is the exploration, in ever increasing depth, of this image of the Universal Being that is his own body. He explores all the nooks and crannies in which reside the mechanisms that regulate his physical and mental activities. He investigates and gradually enlarges the narrow and secret passages that will enable his higher faculties to escape from their corporeal prison. He must force certain passgaes, but he must be careful not to damage this marvelous dwelling place which is his body and which he must maintain with care and love. All asceticisms, all brutality toward himself, is forbidden. The Yogi, through his own power, controls the effects of time and prolongs his existence indefinitely. He acquires a perpetual adolescence, preserves this adolescent body, which he will one day transmute, if he succeeds in his enterprise, into a celestial body. He remains mortal, for the gods themselves are mortal, even though attaining prodigious longevity (sometimes confused with immortality). It is through the efficacy of his powers that he arrives at a suprahuman knowledge of the nature and structure of the world.
