Yoga & Meditation

yoga
Would you like some instruction on what yoga is all about, without having to be in a studio with a large group of people?
Are you already familiar with yoga and want some fine tuning of your poses, and/or breathwork?
Enjoy a session created and tailored specifically for your needs and preferences.
Your choice of styles - Yin, Hatha, Vinyasa or Ashtanga...
Yin Yoga
Great for stress relief and if you are feeling tired from a hectic day or week. Gentle stretches, held for longer, to aid in allowing the body to release tension deep within the muscles. Great for stiffness. Increases flexibility and circulation.
Hatha Yoga
Medium paced. Improves flexibility, especially in the spine and hamstrings. Particularly beneficial as you get older, to help maintain an healthy range of motion and increase strength - especially in your core - to reduce injury and falls. Light to moderate aerobic workout, incorporating some breath work, to enhance strength, flexibility and balance.
Vinyasa Yoga
A smoothly gliding and moderately paced class focused on enjoying yoga as exercise. Vinyasa is a modern fusion between asanas, using breath to connect each of the flowing postures.
Ashtanga Yoga
A stronger, more cardio style, workout with more swiftly flowing movements. Ashtanga helps you loose weight, tone and strengthen your core while relieving stress by increasing focus and awareness of the body.
Three Course Feast
Flowing yoga & pilates mix choreographed to music. A treat for mind, body and soul!

At the Lighthouse we offer individually tailored sessions to meet you exactly where you're at, and guide you towards your perhaps long-forgotten home. Group sessions of up to four people are also available.
Amanda, Ganga and Melissa all work with meditation in it's various forms.

Meditation has undergone extensive and rigorous scientific evaluation in recent years, thanks to wonderful advancements in technology. Meditation has been linked to larger amounts of grey matter in the hippocampus and frontal areas of the brain. More grey matter can lead to more positive emotions, longer-lasting emotional stability and heightened focus during daily life. If you meditate you are less likely to make mistakes, and more likely to feel better. Come join the mindfulness (or is it "mind-less-ness"?) revolution!
