"Robs sessions greatly improved my flexibility, strength and not least my ability to focus.
In terms of training, I wholly support his initiative to bring yoga to enhance sessions. I decided to try yoga with Rob after sustaining an injury and found it a great help in addition to training. I felt stronger, leaner, quicker and energised"

Robert Huth - Footballer, Middlesbrough and Germany

-----------------------------------------

“I would like to personally thank you for bringing Yoga sessions to York City Football club. The feedback from our players was positive especially after 3 or 4 yoga sessions. Myself and the players felt the main benefits from the yoga was stretching and a quicker recovery rate from aches and pains after training and matches. Once again many thanks”.

"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.

ASHTANGA YOGA

A unique combination of dynamic breathing and strong, flowing movement, which creates a high heat, high energy workout. Ashtanga Yoga is a choreographed sequence of postures which flow into one another, building strength, unwinding tight joints, and loosening muscles. Ashtanga yoga is a complete mind and body workout that develops concentration and reduces stress.

One To One

Personal Training

Sessions tailored to ensure you reach your personal health and fitness goals

The great benefit of learning Ashtanga on a One to One basis is that you learn at your own pace. Everyone is different, so a program can be designed to focus onn whichever areas that you choose, i.e strength, flexibilty, stamina, a calmer mind etc. Eventual you will find balance in all these fundamental areas of health and reach your goal of living be healthy and strong in body and mind..

Find the perfect yoga practice for you

In your initial session we will talk through your health and fitness goals. Taking into consideration your history and circumstances we will begin to create the ideal yoga practice for you. The suggested practice is then learnt on a one to one basis. From each session you will receive a programme to work on - the exercises are clearly illustrated and have simple instructions.The aim is to develop a practice that is enjoyable and that you will look forward to.

A life enhancing practice in 20 minutes a day

Having a regular practice of 20 minutes a day is more important than the occasional long yoga practice. The more commitment you have toward your practice the more powerful the results will be.

Your yoga practice will be designed to fit in with your personal circumstances, so that it enhances your day. In time your practice will alter as you progress step by step.

Some people meet for an hour a month; some once a week; a program can be worked out whatever your finances and commitments allow. At first, more frequent visits get you off to a good start. The average is to meet every three weeks.

Sports Specific and Squad Training

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
