Yoga Shop......
My Yoga Shop now consists of just mats for 20euro or if you want a higher quality mat Greystones Yoga studio sell the fab "Jade" Yoga mats for €70.
I did have a wonderful clothing line "Marika" but unfortunately they will no longer ship to Europe. I know how difficult it is to get good yoga wear over here so I am still on the search for that perfect brand. Greystones Yoga Studio has a really good simple & affordable yoga range that I wear all the time so you can go there. If you are in America get to a LuLuLemon store as the range is fantastic but is expensive. If in London Sweaty Betty do a really "cool" Yoga line. I do hope eventually for Yoga by Yvonne to have its own "home" and in it to have the perfect yoga wear!
Why Do Yoga?
When the body feels good and energetic, it stimulates the body boosting our immune systems. No other form of exercise has such a remarkable effect on the body’s natural healing powers.
Breath – By controlling the breath you can increase your energy levels, alertness and clarity of mind and gain an overall feeling of wellbeing.
Energy – The slow controlled movements of yoga – combined with effective breathing which oxygenates the blood helps to generate and store energy in the body.
Body – Yoga unlike other forms of exercise works each and every single muscle in the body, toning on the outside while massaging your organs.
Circulation – Each posture improves circulation in different areas. This can aid in the treatment of anxiety, depression and other such illnesses. Calming – The controlled breathing and steady movements of yoga relax the mind.
The Mind – Every movement in yoga requires the participation of the conscious mind. All thoughts and distractions are suppressed to achieve these postures, which makes them great mental as well as physical exercise.
Improves Posture – Bad posture is responsible for many common health complaints, including spinal problems such as backache, fatigue due to poor circulation and neck problems, poor muscle tone, flatulence and constipation.
