Breathe In, Breathe Out 'Asana is that perfect moment when the body is utterly still, effortless; sensation and breathing suspend themselves so that time comes to a halt.
Then: happiness in a moment of infinity.'
Patanjali, Yoga Sutras II, 47

Yoga: is it a kind of gym?
By Laurence Nagy, on 30 November 2009
 What is the difference between Yoga and Gymnastics?
You can read all sorts of things about Yoga. The other day I found quite a good description of the difference between Yoga and Gym.
 In a gym class, you might be told to turn your foot to the left ten times as fast as you can. In a Yoga class you’ll be told to breathe through the movement, to become aware of your foot, its bones, muscles and ligaments. You’ll be asked to become aware of the stretch of your toes, of the alignment of the foot with the ankle, and you will be encouraged to stop as soon as it becomes strictly painful.

Biography Laurence qualified in Vinyasa Yoga with Gérard Arnaud, Paris, in 2008 after 12 years of regular practice in the UK, Japan and France. She also qualified in Pregnancy Yoga with the British Wheel of Yoga in 2011. For her own practice, Laurence regularly attends workshops at the Iyengar Institute in London and in Oxford.
Opened to various styles, Laurence has a preference for Vinyasa sequences which involve connecting postures with breath-synchronised movements. As a teacher, Laurence is aware that Vinyasa can be too strong for complete beginners or students with a medical condition. Her close experience with Hatha Yoga and Iyengar "styles" allows her to adapt her practice to mixed abilities. Her classes are up and running in South Oxfordshire, where she lives with her husband and three children. She loves teaching and hopes to share all the benefits she gets from yoga with her students.
