Action Yoga established 1983
There are many reasons why people come to a yoga class. To feel more energized or because of a back or knee problem, feeling unsatisfied with the stiffness and discomfort in their body or as a way of managing stress.
Students find that as they continue coming to classes the reasons for returning to yoga evolves. The practice helps with their initial reasons for coming but eventually they find that it can be a path to alleviate all kinds of problems, that it helps them deal with the many complexities of everyday life. Although we initially work with the body in a disciplined and structured way, Yoga becomes more than a series of postures done on the mat. It becomes a tool of self-study to increase our awareness on how to create a more stable mind, free of the physical and mental limitations and habits that reduce our perception and how we experience life. Whatever you do in life the practice of yoga can help you do it with more focus, sensitivity and understanding.
It is this transformative process that then keeps attracting students back to their practice time and time again.
All are welcome whatever age or level of fitness and health to enjoy the benefits that a sustained practice can bring.

“The practice of Yoga allows us to enter into a deep relationship with the body and breath, where the mind no longer dominates. This fully embodied process brings us constantly back into a connection with the present moment. Instead of the disconnection that often marks our life; the practice of constantly attending to what is happening within the body challenges us to open to our deepest selves, other people and the world.”
Group Classes are located at Macleod Community Hall

As we gain experience with our yoga practice we start to embody “skill in action” in deeply empowering ways. We start to face up to our challenges in a way that is effective, responsive and compassionate.
This embodiment of “skill in action” is one of the precious fruits of yoga.
