Thai Yoga at LED's Seaton Fitness Centre combines the ancient practice of yoga with a focus on breathing and flow
A Yin style of Yoga, this inter-connecting flow of meditative movement, works with the breath…. accompanied by music. A beautiful set sequence of Asanas, we can switch off our minds and allow our bodies to gentle ease into each stretch, rotation, letting go very slowly. Thai Yoga works with gravity, never static, no holding positions. Listening to our bodies, working with the breath. Eyes closed. A harmony of meditational movement. Patience to relax...courage to go deep
Western style of sitting on chairs plus modern life patterns and stresses, has created a multitude of imbalances, misalignments and shallow breathing
Restrictions in movement acquired over the years, Thai Yoga helps release the connective tissue, reaching between each vertebrae, hips, knees, muscles and ligaments. Stretching, rotating very slowly, safely, re-balancing mis-aligned body posture. Working closely with the Chinese Meridians and Thai Sen energy lines, facia, connective tissue and Lymphatic system
The not enough time stress factor has, for many, led to the inability to connect with the para sympathetic state, needed to relax the body naturally. A Thai Yoga class develops listening skills, embraces universal energy, replenishes chi, re-minds the body not to hold. Gentleness with no competition
With a little patience you can achieve the un-doing in a few weeks. Whether beginner or advanced, all move together in flow. Both teacher and student have said that it is ‘like no other style’, harmonising and replenishing mind, body and chi.
May we all be able to put on our own socks at 90 .....

I was always sceptical about yoga thinking that I wouldn’t be bendy enough but after my first class I realised there was so much more to it! I’m encouraged to explore postures and whilst the classes can be intense the work goes deep and stays with me long after I’ve gone home
