It is better to attend a class run by a qualified teacher. The first thing to do is to find a class with a qualified teacher to a recognised nationally accredited standard. For a list of nationally accredited teachers contact The British Wheel of Yoga's office. Classes last from 90minutes - two hours. Daily according to your needs and lifestyle.
Regular practice is recommended even if it is just ten minutes relaxation.
You will gain relaxation, flexibility, strength and stamina. Yoga works well for asthmatics and reduces blood pressure, excellent for lower back problems and various common ailments. The breath is the link between our mental and physical state. If the breath is calm the body and mind will follow suit. Yoga is practised bare-footed.
