Why are we called Ananda Yoga & Lifestyle Studio - and not simply a yoga studio? 🌿
Because for me, wellbeing has never been just about what happens on a yoga mat.
Yoga and movement are at the heart of Ananda, but feeling well, staying strong and living a healthier, happier life is about so much more. It’s about how we move, how we breathe, how we rest, how we think and the people we surround ourselves with.
These are the 6 pillars of longevity, wellbeing & health that inspire what we do at Ananda:
1. Exercise / Asana 🧘♀️
Move your body, build strength, maintain mobility and keep doing the things you love.
2. Breathwork / Pranayama 🌬️
Learn to use your breath to calm the mind, regulate your nervous system and create space in a busy life.
3. Meditation / Relaxation 🤍
Slow down. Quiet the noise. Connect with yourself and find a little more balance.
4. Sleep / Yoga Nidra 🌙
Rest is not a luxury. Deep relaxation, good sleep and recovery are essential parts of our wellbeing.
5. Affirmation / Sankalpa ✨
How we speak to ourselves matters. Set intentions, find purpose and nurture a more positive relationship with yourself.
6. Community / Social Life / Belonging 🫶
Perhaps one of the most important of all. Connection, friendship, laughter and feeling that you belong matter enormously.
And this is why Ananda has always been about more than classes. We’ve had breakfasts, dinners, walks and hikes, running, movie nights, garden parties, celebrations and plenty of cups of tea and conversations.
You can come here to practise yoga but I hope you also find rest, friendship, support, inspiration and community.
That’s why we are a Lifestyle Studio. 🌿
Be inspired. Be supported. Be Ananda.
