A Short Overview Of London Yoga
By Leola Walls Yoga has been important in Eastern philosophies for centuries, and has made its way to the West. However the term may or may not mean the same thing in India as it does when identifying London yoga characteristics. Hatha, Ashtanga and Kundalini are some of the typical styles of the discipline that are offered. Students may also decide to focus on one type of classes to resolve a problem. Examples are to relieve stress, to lose weight, or to increase flexibility. Hatha yoga and raja yoga each place emphasis on the physical aspects of the discipline. These can include postures (known as asanas), gestures, meditation, purification and breathing. The Western form typically places the main emphasis on achieving the correct asanas or exercises.
