Yoga-nua

Hatha Yoga classes held in Levin and Foxton in the Horowhenua and online.

Yoga reduces the physical effects of stress on the body by encouraging relaxation and lowering the levels of the stress hormone cortisol. Related benefits include lowering blood pressure, improving digestion and boosting the immune system. 

Yoga can aid weight control efforts by reducing cortisol levels,  burning excess calories and reducing stress. It can encourage healthy eating habits and a heightened sense of well-being/self-esteem.

Yoga helps us to focus on the present, to become more aware and to help create mind body health. It opens the way to improved coordination, reaction time and memory.

I have been attending Annmarie Coote's yoga class for many years now. It is the perfect way to start a working week. Annmarie's calm, relaxed manner, along with her excellent communication skills, settles my very being. Annmarie varies her sequences of positions each week, making sure all the muscle groups are worked and she always has alternatives for people with different abilities. I would and have recommended her classes to anyone who wants to experience the benefits of yoga.

                  I joined Annmarie's "gentle yoga "class a number of years ago. It has helped my condition enormously, My flexibility has improved, the stiffness I had experienced before with the arthritis has improved also, this is so much better for both my physical and mental health .Yoga is a great help for people with disabilities.

                 Annmarie is very aware of each person’s capabilities and never pushes her students beyond them. I have found Annmarie to be a very caring, supportive and creative teacher,
