What Is Yoga?

The word yoga means "union", referring to the union of the mind, body and spirit. So David Lloyd yoga classes are more than just exercise classes. They teach spiritual awareness and physical discipline. David Lloyd Leisure offer Yoga for all beginners, intermediate and advanced people*

The healing power of Tai Chi has been well known in Chinese culture for centuries, and used for many disorders. Contemporary research has shown:

• Exclusive "yoga moves" – developed by David Lloyd exclusively for their members, "yoga moves" is the perfect yoga class for all levels and focuses on technique rather than the spiritual aspects of yoga

• Hatha yoga - perfect for beginners or people with injuries, Hatha focuses on gentle stretches and basic yoga poses. Meditation and relaxation techniques are taught.

• Ashtanga yoga – is physically intense for a more rigorous workout

• Vinyasa yoga – these yoga classes are based on inhale or exhale movements with a dance-like flow. Vinyasa uses movement and stretching together

• Anusara yoga – is fun and light-hearted yoga based on the philosophy that people are intrinsically good

• Lyengar yoga – align your body to the sun and perfect the basic yoga poses

Whichever type of yoga classes you choose, you will enjoy improved flexibility, posture and body strength. Your mental clarity and self-understanding will be enhanced and your stress levels will fall as your sense of well-being improves.
Yoga classes are rightly popular and well respected. Call into your local David Lloyd Club and ask us about which type of yoga class is right for you.
