Yoga for body breath and mind.

Yoga for flexible mind and body package

If you want a bigger and better brain, then do more yoga, or start yoga. So you can have it all. You get can have yoga for body, breath, and mind, as well as for a flexible mind and body. Or, depending how you see it, call it yoga for mind body and spirit, or even yoga for mind body and soul. Plus, as soon as you start, you have yoga for beginners mind benefits too.

Most of us usually first associate yoga with benefits to body and health. Or, if we think about the familiar body and mind throw away lines about yoga. In the process, we don’t realise there are actually very tangible and proven benefits of yoga for your brain.

When you pause to consider it, the brain is of course just another name for the mind. In this regard, the benefits of yoga for the brain are surprisingly wonderful.

A scientific study that reviewed eleven other studies, reported these very positive findings on yoga for your brain. Here are the findings.

• Yoga practitioners have higher grey matter [brain] VOLUME in a number of regions, including frontal brain.
• The evidence points toward yoga exerting a beneficial effect on brain FUNCTION.
• Yoga practice can positively impact brain HEALTH.
• Yoga also confers … cortical neuro-protective
• Yoga practice has a positive effect on the hippocampus, which is implicated in age-related neurodegenerative diseases and chronic stress.
• Verbal memory performance of the brain is improved by yoga.
• Following a yoga intervention, increases in connectivity of regions in the brain were associated with improvements in verbal MEMORY recall.
• The effect of yoga practice on the brain was greater in yoga experts; but all yoga helped, even as little as a few weeks.

Start yoga for brain, & much more

Practising yoga and breath meditation is the super highway to everything you want from yoga, including all the benefits mentioned above.

Particular types of yoga, like Gentle Yoga, or Back, Neck & Shoulder Yoga, or Easy Restorative Yoga, are also especially good for both de-stressing and stretching.

These are excellent beginner classes when you have not been exercising for a long time, or are stiff. As well as improving flexibility, these classes reduce stress, and fix imbalances.

Ideally, as soon as you’ve done at least 6 months of yoga come to Flametree’s yoga retreat in Bali. It will give you even more rapid outcomes, and new dimensions of return.

But, start yoga, or continue your yoga, including breath meditation, at whatever level of skill your at.

Frequently asked questions

Is yoga a religion? Is it a sin, or against Christianity?

No. What we teach is secular yoga. It has no religious approach and it is compatible with any religious belief, and with none. Flametree teaches yoga for health and wellness: the poses, the breathing, and what both do for your body and your mind. That is consistent with whatever religious position you hold. In a Flametree class there is no worship, no ritual, no chanting and nothing you are asked to believe. You will hear Sanskrit names for some poses, the way a dance class uses French words, because those are simply the names they have had for a long time, and we give the everyday English name alongside. If anything in a class ever sits badly with you, tell your teacher and it will be left out.

Do you teach yoga nidra?

We do not run a class called yoga nidra, but we teach restorative yoga, which does the same job. You are fully supported by props and stay in each pose for a long time. It de-stresses you, it builds calmness, and it improves sleep. Many students say it is the first thing that has actually switched their mind off.

Do you teach yin yoga?

Not under that name, and you may not need it. Every Flametree class includes a good deal of floor-based yoga, and many classes include restorative work as well. Between the floor poses and the restorative sequences you get at least what yin offers, and usually more, because you also get the standing and active work that builds strength, bone and balance at the same time. It is taught in the Iyengar method, a long-established and structured system, by certified teachers who watch you and adjust what you are doing.

Do you teach Wim Hof, holotropic or 9D breathwork?

Not those branded methods. We teach the yoga breathing practices they draw on: alternate nostril breathing (Nadi Shodhana), staircase breathing or Interrupted Breath (Viloma), ocean breath or Victorious Breath (Ujjayi), humming breath (Bhramari), and skull-shining breath (Kapalabhati). Between them these do the energising, the calming and the breath-control work people go to other methods for, and they cover ground those methods do not, such as the fine breath control the slow practices build over time. They are taught in an order, slow practices first, with a certified teacher watching you.

What is Iyengar yoga, and how is it different?

Iyengar yoga is a precise, alignment-focused method developed by B.K.S. Iyengar. Three things make it different in practice. Poses are held longer, so you have time to feel and adjust what you are doing. Props are standard, chairs, blocks, belts and bolsters, so the pose is brought to you rather than you straining towards it. And teachers train for years and are independently certified, so you are watched and corrected rather than left to copy someone at the front. It is not a flowing, music-led class, and it is not hot yoga.

Where can I do yoga for body, breath and mind in Darwin?

Flametree Yoga Studio teaches in Darwin at Woolner and at Coolalinga, and LIVE online for anyone anywhere in Australia. The classes that combine the physical and the breathing work most directly are Gentle Yoga, Back Neck and Shoulder Yoga, Restorative Yoga and the pranayama breath meditation classes. Your first class is free if you are an NT resident, and there are half price deals after that. See the beginner timetable for times at both Darwin studios and online.
