Yoga is much more than a powerful form of exercise and a way of developing flexibility, though it is understood that many students are first attracted to yoga for these reasons.

Flowing sequences of classic yoga postures carried out through the discipline of conscious breathing and dynamic movement create a deep heat within the body and enable you to reconnect your body, mind and spirit whilst building strength, flexibility, stamina, concentration, balance, alertness and self-awareness.

Regular practice will transform you, bringing about improved health and well being, accompanied by a vibrant state of relaxation.

When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bounds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.

- Patanjali

At Yoga Tapas, dedicated teachers and enthusiastic students, combined with thorough teaching of yoga asana (postures) and pranayama (breathing techniques), help to create an environment that will assist you on your yoga journey.

Regular consistent pratice is part of your Tapas;  part of our Tapas is to provide the opportunity and environment for you to do so.
