Welcome to Yoga For Movement  – Relaxing Yoga

Gentle and relaxing Hatha Yoga classes suitable for all. Our parasympathetic nervous system is stimulated when we relax into postures, which promotes a relaxation response and reduces stress in our bodies. The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for slowing your heart rate and breath and increasing blood flow to your vital organs, among other things.

Yoga practice helps to combat the physical and mental effects of everyday stress and ease common ailments such as headaches, backaches, anxiety, and insomnia with the use of restful poses and deep breathing techniques. With the aid of Yoga props, without strain or pain, we can achieve physical, mental and emotional relaxation. These gentle Hatha Yoga classes will give you time to unwind and relax in a safe comfortable environment.
