Feel Better – Live Better – Work Better
Yoga can help you eliminate the negative effects of stress in your life and gain a greater sense of wellbeing. The many benefits of yoga include improved sleep, lowered anxiety, flexibility, strength and peace of mind.
Susie Spiller teaches yoga privately, and also brings yoga to the corporate environment to help staff at all levels achieve work/life balance. Classes include:

	simple and easy postures drawn from Satyananda practices to help remove the physical discomfort accumulated during the day
	pranayama breathing practice highly effective at reducing stress and anxiety –and the quickest way known to reduce stress in the area of the brain that holds on to stress
	yoga nidra for profound relaxation to take the mind from the busy beta mind waves to alpha waves, and a state of total relaxation

Learn how to relax...
The yoga nidra relaxation exercise at the end of the class systematically induces complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation. At the same, it awakens the consciousness, separating it from external awareness and sleep. So while your body rests, your mind will stay alert and your consciousness becomes more powerful.

Benefits for you and your workplace

	More output for the time and effort you put in
	Improved memory and decision making
	Greater confidence in your judgement
	More positive feelings, less frustration
	Greater enjoyment in working with others

Satyananda Yoga is a living and evolving tradition. It provides everyone, regardless of social background, with the tools for self-development, to become stable and self-reliant. Yoga classes follow a gradual progression, enabling students to assimilate the effects gradually and safely, one step at a time, making yoga accessible and beneficial to all, young and old, those of varying levels of fitness, health and experience. Based on the traditions and philosophies of Samkhya, Vendanta, Tantra and Sannyasa.
It combines Hatha, Raja, Karma, Bhakti, Jnana, Mantra, Kriya, Kundalini and other branches of yoga. It is based on traditional wisdom and teachings, re-evaluated by a living master to serve present needs. It recognises that yoga needs to be customized and made relevant to the needs of the individual within contemporary society. Some aspirants may naturally be attracted to the physical end of the yoga spectrum, others to the meditative end, others in between. Certain branches of yoga are therefore more or less relevant to each individual depending on where they are on this spectrum.

Yoga is not an ancient myth buried in oblivion. It is the most valuable inheritance of the present. It is the essential need of today and the culture of tomorrow.
~ Swami Satyananda Saraswat

Yoga	draws on the magic of ancient traditions and marries them with advanced science and consciousness research. Far from being simply physical exercise, it is an aid to establishing an awareness of one’s self and integrating or belonging to the whole.
Yoga	is a gentle but powerful means of achieving strength, flexibility, stillness and balance in the body and mind. More and more people are turning to yoga as a way of dealing with the stresses and strains of modern living.
Yoga	is a practical means of balancing and harmonising the body, mind and emotions. For most people yoga is simply a means of maintaining health and wellbeing in an increasingly stressful world.
