Asanas are the practices many people associate with Yoga.
By increasing the strength, flexibility and endurance of the body/mind through physical postures, we are working with the physical body during Asana practice to influence the mind and the energy … helping to prepare us physically for meditation practice.

Through the manipulation of the breath using practises to expand, cool, heat, tranquilise, activate and/or soothe, we can influence the flow of ‘prana’ or ‘life force’ in the body.
On a purely physical level, any improvement in the efficiency of this essential bodily activity can also assist with heart health, reduce toxins and improve circulation, metabolism and sleep.
While Pranayama practice can help to prepare us for meditation, it also works beautifully as a meditation practice in itself!

A combination of subtle physical movements that can deepen awareness and concentration… such useful allies during meditation!
Once we regularly begin using Mudras as part of our meditation practice, they can become a signal to our awareness that it is time to turn inwards…becoming a very handy shortcut towards an inward focus.

Designed to capture and re-direct prana, bandhas can be used in conjunction with a range of mudra and pranayama practises to enhance their ‘pranic’ effects.
Bandhas work on the flow of 'prana' or 'life force' within the spinal column.
As bandhas help to activate, concentrate and clear any blockages in this flow…. the mind begins to calm to a more balanced and harmonious state and the dissipation of energy is reduced… facilitating greater concentration.

The Sanskrit language creates particular combinations of sound vibrations that have a powerful and beneficial effect on all levels of our being.
The effects of the mantra come not only from the vibration of the sounds but also the vibration created by the intention of the person chanting it.
Singing together as a group works on an emotional level to lift the spirit and is one of the oldest practises known to humankind. While the practice can also be done alone, the act of singing together adds to the vibrational energy created and experienced.

A favourite practise for so many, Yoga Nidra systematically brings about a profound release of physical, mental and emotional tension through the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system.
So deep and profound is the level of rest, it is said that 30 minutes of Yoga Nidra is the equivalent of 2 hours of really good sleep!

Meditation is both a state of mind and a process – a “state” of intensely focused and deepened awareness and a “process” involving practises to help us towards this state of mind.
Just as the farmer doesn’t grow the plants but simply prepares what he can to enable nature to do the work, meditation is the same........we can use Yoga practice to prepare the body/mind for meditation but then we simply get out of the way and let meditation take place.
