Life's challenges affect the way we think and breathe. Yoga recognizes that by regulating the breath and quieting the mind, it allows us to live with less stress, greater clarity and happiness. While this is theoretically simple, in practice it’s incredibly intricate.

Yogic philosophy provides us with clear intention and purpose for these practices, it also understood that it takes a highly experienced teacher to share the intricacy of the tools and techniques to ensure the complete benefits of these practices are experienced.

This course is delivered by Geoff Brooks, a Yoga Master with 40 years experience. It’s designed for people wanting to understand and experience breath and meditation in the way they’re intended.
