Yoga comes from the Sanskrit term for union, whence we get the English word 'yoke', to link things together. Whereas yoga is seen often as a type of sport or fitness experience, its origins are in meditation and self-knowledge. Whatever your religious, spiritual or philosophical preferences and experiences, yoga is intended as a practice that helps create harmony and deeper understanding of the relationship between body, mind and spirit. A steady yoga practice can help us deal with stress, life challenges, our sense of purpose and self-worth, and provide an opportunity to commune with life and higher energy - if that is what we seek. The aim of BMB Yoga is to provide access to a holistic yoga practice for the people of Cape Town, open to our own cultural and religious diversity.
