About Gwynne

What is Yoga?

The word yoga is derived from the sanskrit “€ yuj”€, meaning € to yolk € or €˜to join. Yoga is an ancient science based on universal principles, the Laws of Nature.

Yoga is a powerful, transformative and life enhancing health practice, as valuable today as it was in ancient times. Yoga is endlessly adapatable, available to everyone, regardless of age or ability. The effect of yoga is that of €œbringing together €, bringing balance into the body and into our lives. Finding greater harmony with nature and awakening individual potential.

The intelligence of yoga lays in the integration of mind, body and breath. Yoga is a wholistic practice, that centres, calms and creates balanced harmony in all who practice. €

The goal of yoga practices is to train the body and mind to self observe and become aware of true nature. Cultivating discernment, awareness, self-regulation and higher consciousness. Yoga improves all aspects of our health and wellbeing. We are part of nature, so developing awareness to live in harmony with nature is important for our life balance and wellbeing, developing individual potential and connection with the universal.
The power of yoga is available to everyone and is not dependent upon age, strength or flexibility€.
