Exploring Yoga for U !

So why do Yoga?

Yoga is a holistic all body harmonizing practice for Mind, Body & Spirit. It has so many benefits I simple can't mention them all here. 

Check out this great article on Yoga Lunch Box webpage if you are interested to know "Will Yoga give me a great body?"

There is a lot of different styles of Yoga with slightly different focuses and it can be a challenge to discover the right yoga class and teaching style that best suits your required needs, interest & ability. As you change so too does your Yoga Practice. 

Yoga is 95% practice and 5% theory so why wait any longer!

About your YOGA Instructor

Hello, my name is Mary Jo Halligan. I'm orginally from Ireland and I have 10+years of Yoga experience. 

I started yoga in my early 20's with little or no body awareness and very little self-confidence. 

Yoga has helped change all that, it has been one of the most consistent practices that I continue to integrate into my life simple becasue

it works and makes me feel vibrant, confident, healthy, clear thinking, intuitive and tuned in, tapped in to the joyous flow of life.

I rarely get any kind of sickness and if I do I usually know my body well enough to give

it what its needs without having to go to a doctor..e.g. rest, vitimans etc

Yoga helps me feel connected and supported by my body and life. It helps me feel empowered, centered and relaxed. 

Because of this I am passionate to share the gifts of practicing yoga with you. 

I am a fully registered Teacher with YogaAlliance.com. A register body located in the U.S. and globally recognised

I took my Yoga Teacher Trainings in India the traditional birth home of yoga in 2004 & 2006. 

I have trained in various yoga styles over the years and I continue to be a eager student

 I have learned time and again that there is many different ways to practice yoga and approaches to yoga.

Various Yoga Styles that infleunce my Teaching Style to different degrees: Bikram (hot yoga), Ashtanga,

Sivananda, Hatha, Anusara, Vinyasa Flow, Yin, Restorative, Pregnancy.  

My main intention is to support you with the right YOGA style or integration

of styles to suit you and those in class to enable the most beneficial experience for all in attendance. 

Yoga is a holistic program for well-being amd balance physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. 

Yoga is not a dogma and is not connected to any religions.

It is connected to universal laws, wisdom, sciences and the unique personnal experience of practitionars. 

I have also practiced in many meditational styles over the years which I integrate

into these classes in an accessible, practical, nurturing & relaxing way.

My passion is holistic self-empowerment & self-care that supports optimum health, harmony, balance and well-being.

Feeling great and looking vibrant is a wonderful bi-product of regular Yoga practice and there is so much more on offer.  

I enjoy making these classes very practical, accessible, lighthearted and a joy to participate in.

The essense of yoga takes us back to simplicity.

The syncronised deep Breathing is what makes yoga..YOGA.

"Yoga is intended to feel divine, because you are divine by nature"




Finding the right YOGA style for YOU?

I advise people that Yoga is about feeling good by the end of the session and this can be a good gauge to know if the Yoga Style is really for you. For example some Yoga classes can focus more on the physical aspect or the meditational aspects. Some can seem too fast and confusing while others can seem too slow and boarding. Oh and you don't need to be flexible to join a yoga class or need to shape yourself into a pretzel! : )  However yoga will definitely support your body creating more flexibility and maybe one day down the line you might decide to do something you never though possible and amaze yourself. 

 

What are the benefits of YOGA? 

 

Physical: Yoga supports a fit, flexible and healthy body. It does this by releasing tension in tight muscle, introducing longer toned muscles. It encourages the increase in Mobility and strengthens the joints, muscles and bones. It improves circulation of the blood & lymph to and from all the cells thus making sure they get the oxygen and nutrition they required for the whole body/mind to feel energized and vibrant. Yoga also massage the internal organs to support optimal functioning & health. It supports the bodies release of toxic build up and is body cleansing. People who practice yoga regularly usually have a vibrant glow & youthful appearance. 

 

Mentally: Yoga relaxes the mental chatter and introduces a calm, alert and clear mind. It supports the brain getting more oxygen. Increases mental focus, confidence and clarity with decision making. Yoga support stress free living or at the very least can reduce stress symptoms. 

 

Spiritual: Yoga supports a deep connection to your inner self (heart connected) for guidance so that you can be your own best supportive loving friend. It does this by helping you be more fully present in the moment so you can hear this quieter inner voice of your true self...centered within self....(not self-centered, there is  big difference). When faced with important decisions or new challenges this is an invaluable tool to have access to and develop a a trusting relationship with. You will never need to feel overwhelm, confusion or fear again with this gift & knowledge of knowing thy self on the deepest level of understanding. Life becomes in essence joyful creation.
