Bodhi, with its small classes and personal attention, teaches that Yoga uses the weight of your own body to gently develop muscle and build strength. You practice at your own level increasing strength steadily from head to toe. Whatever your current physical condition, it can be adapted to work for you. Yoga is a wonderful form of exercise providing a great way to keep fit and supple and to build
strength and flexibility. It’s fun, it can be adapted to most fitness levels and you can be sure your own individual Yoga practice will always evolve and change as your relationship with asanas (postures) and your levels of fitness change. Even if you don’t feel very flexible or strong to begin with, these things will improve the longer you practice. Yoga isn’t a competition. One of its most liberating gifts is to help us let go of ego, accepting that we are all equal and we are all just doing our best on any given day. Yoga gives us control of ourselves and allows us to look at the universe around us in a more fulfilling way - it teaches us to be present, to quiet our minds and to be happy with who we are.Our teachers know the profound effect practicing yoga can have - Lose weight, learn to relax and have fun! Reiki is an effective method of stress reduction and relaxation. It can be used as a complementary medical therapy to treat pain and minor conditions such as headaches or stomach aches as well as serious illnesses such as heart disease and cancer, helping to reduce negative side-effects of medication, aiding in pain relief and promoting more relaxed sleep. Reiki is increasingly being woven into patient treatment plans in hospitals and hospices alongside traditional medical practices. Most forward-thinking doctors now agree that treating the body, mind and spirit as a ‘WHOLE’ will release tension and anxiety to promote a sense of balance and well being, which allows the body to self-heal both physically and emotionally. Modern life can be stressful. Your body’s way of responding is to try to make the physical, mental or emotional changes to adapt. Chronic pain can arrive from stress, as well as psychological, spiritual and emotional distress, from injuries and overwork or from pain caused by disease. Reiki is a complimentary method of healing that can be experienced whatever your religious or spiritual views and is performed by a practitioner placing their hands on or above a client’s body for the focus and transfer of energy. It is possible to benefit from Reiki treatments whether you simply wish to find some space in a busy life, are seeking to heal long-held negative or destructive emotional patterns or are looking for a complimentary therapy to assist in dealing with ongoing medical conditions.After over 16 years of living with Reiki Amanda Roberts is holds the title of Reiki Master / Teacher.
