How does yoga aid with mental health?
When your brain becomes accustomed to a well-worn neural path, it becomes a habit, such as mindlessly looking at your phone when you're bored.
New neural paths can form in the same way, and repeated activation makes these paths bigger & stronger.
By reinforcing positive behaviours, yoga gives us the tools to break thought and emotion patterns that no longer serve us .
That means that whatever you think, perceive and feel whilst practicing yoga is essentially training he brain to become conscious in those ways, resulting in improved cognitive skills as the brain cells develop new connections & structures.
Yoga strengthen parts of the brain that play a key role in memory, attention, awareness, thought and language.
This allows the choice of healthier patterns when challenges arise, making yoga a powerful practice for our mental health and well-being.

Sylvia
-Yoga Instructor-
Yoga has given me a sense of self-power and purpose. For me, it isn’t about the perfect asana — it’s about cherishing the relationship we form with ourselves and nourishing our essence.
Yoga has been an important part of my life. It has helped me connect with my mind and body and kept me grounded during challenging times.
I knew that if yoga could revitalize my spirit the way it has, it would also be able to do so for other people; especially for those already on, or beginning their journeys.
I would love to work with you and see what connection you can make with yourself.
Come hang out with me in my next class.
Melinda
-Yoga Instructor-
Melinda discovered yoga while working as a full time hairdresser and sharing her passion for essential oils. What had started as a dream job left her feeling over worked and a little burnt out as she is also a mother of five and therefore needed some balance.
She first joined a few classes per week but found it wasn’t enough for her. That’s when she realised that yoga had become something she needed to teach and a very important practice in her life.
She got her first teaching job upon graduating, and to date, she has taught corporate yoga, zoom yoga, outdoor yoga, private classes and classes at a gym.
Her professional teaching journey continues as she loves to help others remain focused, build strength & work on flexibility.
Her classes focus on alignment and you can truely expect to move, sweat, breathe, appreciate and open up your heart.
Melinda also enjoys growing her own vegetables, cooking and dancing.

Karen
-Yoga Instructor-
Karen is a Yoga and Pilates Instructor who believes that through movement, breath and building awareness of the body, we can gain insight into our emotional and mental states.
