Yoga Has Taken Off With All Genders, Worldwide, In A Wise Way

The last year saw yoga Balgowlah take off in a huge way, with more people than ever before becoming practising yogis. This is true worldwide; yoga has given the global population peace of mind and a sense of calm in a time that has been chaotic. Yoga, and there are several practices, has been taken up with people of all ages and genders. And they’re still practising.

Yoga practice

Yoga is called a practice because that is exactly what it is. Nobody ever perfects yoga. They practice the movements, they practice the breath and they practice the meditation. Yoga is non-competitive and it is not important how practised you are. Everyone works at their own level, some are new, some have been practising for a while and many have been practising for years. Everyone grows and learns, at their own pace.

Kinds of yoga

There are different types of yoga, including Hatha yoga, Iyengar yoga, Ashtanga and Restorative, amongst others. The yoga you choose depends on what you are looking for. Hatha yoga is perhaps the most well-known yoga, or the most standard yoga, where you do a series of poses, holding each pose for a fairly long time. Ashtanga is faster moving, while Iyengar is yoga that uses props such as pillows, blankets and rope.

Most yogis like to experience a few different styles of yoga before choosing the practice that they prefer. Most yoga studios such as yoga classes Balgowlah will offer a trial class, or even a series of trial classes, Yoga can be done in a studio, generally in a fairly small class, or online. Online yoga took off in 2020, because of social distancing and the Covid-19 rules and regulations, and online yoga continues to be one of the more popular forms of online exercise.

Its all about your breathing

Whichever kind of yoga you choose to do, you will learn how important breathwork is. Your yoga instructor will teach you how to breathe, and when to inhale and when to exhale. The breath is part of each pose, and yoga is a series of poses, including the final pose at the end, Savasana, or known in English as The Corpse Pose. This is generally when mediation starts, with yogis lying on their backs, eyes closed, silent and still, finding peace, calm and stillness. This too can be done online, and is an extremely good part of the practice.

Yoga for all ages

While there is an image of women in their yoga clothes walking to a studio carrying their yoga mat, yoga is popular with men and women, and children, all seeking the same thing. A level of strength and resilience, peace, calm, focus and stress relief. Many schools have incorporated yoga into their daily schedules, a way to get kids to focus and feel good about themselves.

Yoga all over Australia has grown and  yoga Balgowlah is the studio with proof!
