Good things and bad things about Health Spa’s and Health Farm holidays

Spa’s and Health Farms often pamper you a little bit too much so that you don’t really change after being there for the weekend

Ok it’s a great weekend and you feel great. But all in all, your life continues on in much the same way on Monday after the weekend, as where you left on on Friday before heading away.

Yoga courses sometimes can be an inspiration to change one’s life.

Please be aware that there are many different forms of yoga and some of these may not be what you are looking for.

If you are considering a break or a health farm farm weekend, why not consider a yoga weekend which will work much deeper and have longer lasting effects.

If you would like a gentle start, and you may not be as young as you would like to be, or as fit as you could be then possibly you should consider an introduction to Satyananda yoga. This form places the emphasis on inner awareness, and includes breathing practices, physical postures and relaxation techniques and also meditation.

If you are under 40 and are quite fit already, or if you would like to experience a stronger more dynamic form of yoga, and are more interested in the physical benefits such as flexibility and toning rather than the more meditative aspects of Yoga then maybe you should try Asthanga or Iyengar.

Asthanga is a strong physical form of yoga and is quite vigorous and gives the body an excellent physical workout.

For more information on Asthanga click Asthanga Yoga workshop

Iyengar yoga is also quite strong but not as dynamic as Asthanga. It is also good for flexibility, improving strength and toning.

If you are not sure which one would be most appropriate for you why not ask Dave Brocklebank who is a Satyananda yoga teacher and runs the centre.
