Yoga

In the ancient Indian language of Sanskrit, the word yoga is derived from the Sanskrit root “yuj”, meaning “yoke” or “binding”, and describes the union of the body, the mind, and the wisdom of the heart.

Hot yoga is at the heart of what we do at yogahaven, but we also offer a wide variety of styles, catering for everyone from complete beginner to veteran yogi.

We call our unique style of hot yoga “Leela Yoga.” Leela means “play” in Sanskrit, and it reflects our belief that yoga should be liberating and joyfully experienced. We believe in teaching yoga in a way that is non-dogmatic and above all, enjoyable.

It’s not always easy getting to classes when the weather’s bad or you’re tired, but I always feel so energised and positive afterwards. I’ve noticed real improvement in my posture, my muscle tone and I generally feel so much happier in myself.
