exercise, but through the diligent focus on
the breath throughout the class, one can find
themselves becoming very mindful of the
present moment, which results in a clearer
and more focused mind.
Originating in India, yoga was first
practised by ancient seers who lived alone
and wondered the land in search of a deeper
meaning to life. Through observing nature
and holding themselves in postures for long
periods of time they started to discover the
benefits of the physical practice not only on
their bodies but also on their mind.
It was in the 1960s/70s when Americans
and Europeans started travelling to India
in search of mysticism, that yoga started
to become more visible in the West and
now it has become commonplace in most
gyms. Throughout London and in most of
the major cities in the UK there are even
dedicated yoga shalas (schools) where you
can practice either one style of yoga only or
choose from tens of styles of yoga.
The many styles of yoga can be daunting
to decipher, and they mainly differ in speed
and techniques but they aim to do the
same thing - to bring us into the present
moment thereby moving us away from our
habitual patterns of worrying about the past
or projecting fears onto what is coming up

in the future.
DB: Could you summarise the physical
benefits of yoga?
ZK: Yoga offers a huge benefit to our
muscles, joints and internal organs. Some

* Strengthens and tones the core muscles,
needed for good posture

the body

and can contribute to better bone health
* Suppor ts t he f unction of t he
cardiovascular, digestive and respiratory
systems
* Can help to reduce high blood pressure
* Balances the parasympathetic and
sympathetic nervous systems
* Aids better quality and more restful sleep
DB: In addition to the physical benefits,
what other health benefits does yoga bring?
ZK: In addition to the physical benefits,
yoga is known to help maintain and improve
mental and emotional health:
* Reduces the levels of cortisol circulating
in the body, helping to alleviate symptoms
of stress and anxiety
* Improves cognitive function

*
*

*

Increases overall body awareness
Increases the levels of dopa mine
production which can help to lift one's
mood
Improves how we see ourselves and our
relationship with others
