Whatever your sport or activity, a successful athlete is a balanced athlete. Ironically, even with the best intentions, repetitive motion activities such as endurance sports tend to create imbalance in the body either through the shortening of soft tissue, misalignment of the skeletal structure, and even imbalance in the endocrine and nervous systems. The intention of these sessions is initially to create perfect balance in the body and thus provide a foundation for a deeper level of awareness and connection. The effects of asana's (poses) are many, but particularly beneficial to the athlete, yoga helps achieve balance within by improving circulation, freedom of movement, alignment and mobility in the joints, organ function, awareness and concentration

Welcome to City Yoga

City Yoga offer a range of yoga sessions in and around the City of York. Whatever your health and fitness goals may be City Yoga has a session that will help you realise them. All Yoga works in some degree on all aspects of mind and body, but some are more suitable for certain requirements, whether you wish to build strength, stamina, flexibility, calm mind etc City Yoga will have a class that will help you achieve those goals.

The practice of these powerful forms of yoga strengthens and purifies the body. Focused breathing techniques calm the mind and soothes the nervous system, leaving you with a deep meditative calm.

Practice will develop awareness of the body's habitual holding patterns. Over time Yoga helps you find ways to undo less than perfect posture. With a balanced practice, weak areas of the body grow stronger and tight areas become more flexible.

General vitality and energy levels will improve, and, as the body unwinds you learn to identify areas of tightness, with increased flexibility and awareness you are able to relax these areas more easily.

Yoga is one of the greatest self improvement methods. However, it is not an easy undertaking. The results you achieve will be equal to the discipline and effort you take to follow the methods advised.
