the benefits of yoga

Yoga provides mental and physical therapy. In particular, it provides relief from stress, tension, sore muscles and insomnia.
Yoga positively affects many aspects of your mental and physical well-beings with key benefits including:

• Increased flexibility in joints and ligaments – improves mobility
• Toning of the muscles – weak muscles become strong and firm
• Massages internal organs
• Complete detoxification
• Acquire the ‘natural weight’ for your body type
• Improves general mental and physical health

the tr way

tr yoga offers two contrasting styles of yoga; Hot (Bikram) and Yin yoga.
Hot (Bikram) is the dynamic and physical (yang) side of yoga in contrast to the slow, passive and more gentle practise offered through Yin.

hot (Bikram) yoga

Bikram's beginning yoga class is a 26 asana series designed to warm and stretch muscles, ligaments and tendons, in the order in which they should be stretched.

Bikram Yoga's 26 posture exercises systematically move fresh, oxygenated blood to one hundred percent of your body, to each organ and fibre, restoring all systems to healthy working order, just as nature intended. Proper weight, muscle tone, vibrant good health, and a sense of well-being will automatically follow.

Yin yoga

Yin yoga is a slow, passive practice that stretches and stimulates the connective tissue rather than the muscle, so enabling deep opening, particularly in the hips and the spine.

Postures are held for an extended period of time (anything from 3 to 10 minutes).

Yin yoga was in part a response to the trend towards more dynamic (yang) forms of yoga practice, such as Astanga vinyasa, on the contemporary yoga scene.

This style is relaxing and revitalising, and is equally appropriate for beginners and experienced yogis.

"just for you" (private) yoga

The practise is geared towards each individual. Only through understanding your body and your needs and wants will you be able to fully realise the potential that yoga has to offer. tr yoga emphasises the importance of personalising all aspects of the practise in a manner to suit the needs, preferences and aspirations of each practitioner.
