Why Study Yoga?

A range of different reasons bring people into the yoga studios and onto the yoga mat – ranging from the physical to the spiritual and to the psychological. This is because yoga is credited with producing a huge array of positive results.

Whilst, to a beginner, yoga trainings may look fairly mild, the physical benefits of the practice of yoga are legion. Those who practice yoga develop their core strength, their general strength and flexibility, and their muscle tone and stamina. They work parts of their body that they didn’t necessarily know existed. And, you’ll see that most of them leave the class sweaty – and this is because, really, yoga is a vigorous body workout!

However, the beauty of yoga is that it is not just a conventional ‘exercise’. Rather, the whole point is that it strengthens your mind body relationship. Through focusing on breathwork, you pay greater attention to your body, your stillness, and your larger self. This is why yoga and meditation often go hand in hand!

But, further, let’s not forget when on the mat that yoga is a properly spiritual practice. Traditional yoga was something quite different to what we know now – coming as it did from ancient Sanskrit texts that proposed the notions that we associate with Ayurveda.

So, let’s remember, in our yoga workshops, that this discipline is not just a way to build strength or to increase flexibility. For some, it is rather a very important spiritual practice.

The Limits of the Group Yoga Class

As both a meditative and physical practice, we all are reasonably familiar by now with the benefits of yoga.

Yet, for new students and more experienced students alike, the conventional yoga class – in which tens of people gather before a solitary yoga teacher – is not necessarily the best way to focus on your restorative practice, nor on your body and mind. You can find yourself a little restricted by the class schedule (as well as the limited space of the yoga studio!) and you might find that, in these contexts, you don’t get the deep relaxation that you might like from your yoga practice.

Indeed, it is not uncommon for people to complain that the yoga class is not the best place for them to develop their practice. There are distractions, obligations, and restrictions that don’t really align to the more spiritual and meditative sides of the practice.

Private Yoga Tuition

However, there is a different way to develop your breath awareness and body awareness through yoga. There is a different way to learn from a trained yoga instructor than in an oversubscribed class that gets in the way of your other commitments. There is a different way to develop your body and your mind than through the sports centre or the gym hall.

This is private yoga tuition – with which you can do away with class schedules and the need to find yourself a spot between all the other yoga mats. With this, you can focus on your asanas and salutations without feeling like you are going at someone else’s pace – without the possibility of misunderstanding or being overlooked by an overwhelmed teacher.

Indeed, a private yoga tutor can take you at the speed that you require, and in the style that you prefer. If you are an older person looking for gentle yoga or chair yoga, there are tutors in Bristol who will be very happy to walk you through it. If, on the other hand, you want a serious workout, or if you want to follow the yoga journey all the way from beginner level to becoming a yoga instructor yourself, you’ll find the teacher to help you all the way.
