Benefits
Over the past 20 years, science and the medical field have been examining and trialing the impact of somatic practises on individuals. The research conducted on adults, children, adolescents, those that are suffering mental illness, etc, have come back with compelling evidence that yoga, mindfulness and meditation are having profound positive effects on those that participate. With the data indicating that over the next 20 years, mental illness will be the leading health concern amongst Western countries, it’s integral that we provide the leaders of the future with a set of skills that are tangible and applicable.

Yoga is a Sanskrit word, meaning to ‘yolk’, to ‘bind together’, to make something whole and to act in the union, or, ‘to directing different parts of self together’. As one begins to look inwards, there can often be this sense of overwhelm, fear, and confusion as one comes to appreciate their own inner power. It’s important to understand that the only part of this universe that we have some control over is ourselves – our reactions, our responses to the world around us, and when we learn to harness our responses, we find power and confidence within. We move from being self-centric to being much more open to the possibilities that exist.
Self Founded facilitates the ancient practice of Hatha yoga, a beautiful and gentle practice that offers the gentle opening of the body and strengthening of spirit. Suited for the beginner to the well practiced, the traditional sequence of Gita Yoga and its potential depth is held in each individual's approach and intention to their practice. It can be for a journey of understanding and self-compassion.
