Yoga incorporates physical postures, breathing exercises to release stored tension and unwanted sensations in the body.

Meditation, in particular, involves focusing the mind on a single point, such as the breath or the body. This practice can help quiet the mind by bringing you into the present moment and taking you out of ruminating about the past or future. This, in turn, reduces stress-related thoughts and promotes a calmer, more collected outlook on life.

Inclusivity is at the heart of the Yoga Communitea. I understand that bodies come in all shapes and sizes, and that's something to celebrate! I always provide a variety of props (blocks, straps, bolsters) to help you find the perfect alignment in each pose, and their use is always encouraged. I’ll also offer variations for each pose, allowing you to listen to your body and choose the level of challenge that feels right for you. Some days you might feel energised and ready to push a little further, while other days might call for a more gentle approach. Honour your body's needs and trust your intuition.

Forget about comparing yourself to others, or feeling pressured to perform. Gentle yoga and meditation at Yoga Communitea Studio in Wath Upon Dearne, Rotherham offers a more meaningful journey – a chance to reconnect with yourself and discover how you can connect to your inner wisdom.
