Yoga, as Maya describes it, is not simply about physical exercises and stretches; it is a practise that encompasses the mind, body, and spirit. Originating in ancient India, the term 'yoga' is derived from the Sanskrit word 'yuj', meaning to unite or join. The practise of yoga aims to create harmony between the mind and body, offering a path towards inner peace and self-discovery.

With over 5,000 years of history, yoga has evolved into various forms and styles, making it accessible and relevant to people around the world. Maya believes that yoga is not solely about physical flexibility and strength, but rather about achieving a balanced life, enhancing mental clarity, and fostering spiritual growth. Through disciplined practise, individuals can find a sense of peace and equanimity. Maya also acknowledges that many people turn to yoga as a way to manage stress or address specific health issues.

Maya Yoga Grantham offers a range of yoga styles, including Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, and Kundalini. Hatha yoga focuses on basic postures and is excellent for beginners, while Vinyasa is known for its fluid, movement-intensive practises. Ashtanga yoga follows a specific sequence of postures and is a more rigorous style, while Kundalini yoga aims to awaken and release dormant spiritual energy within the practitioner.

If you are looking to bring positivity, peace, and healing into your life, Maya Yoga Grantham welcomes you to join a class and experience the transformative power of yoga. Whether you are seeking physical strength, mental clarity, or spiritual growth, Maya's teachings and her supportive community will guide you on your yoga journey.
