WHAT is Yoga?	Benefits of Yoga
Yoga is a centuries old discipline which offers a path to total health and well-being. Built on a foundation of ethics and personal discipline, it is one of the most sublime tools yet conceived for the experience of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. Yoga includes a system of physical poses (asanas) which cover an enormous range of body movement. The postures have an enervating effect on the mind, and thus, an enormous impact on the whole personality. Following the asanas, powerful breathing techniques are then incorporated which further integrate the psychological and physiological processes. Alongside these practices, meditation is performed to further still the mind, so as to experience the ultimate inner peace.	Yoga is a safe, regenerative form of exercises which builds a firm foundation for spiritual, emotional, mental and physical health. Yoga increases our flexibility, endurance, stamina, sense of balance, aerobic capacity, concentration and mental clarity to a remarkable degree. We sleep better and are less affected by the stresses surrounding us. we are assisted in taking responsibility for our own well-being. Continued practice leads to poise, self-confidence, awareness of one's capabilities and a more positive self-image. There is no age limit to improvement: thus unlike many other physical activities, Yoga is not merely for the young and supple.

About Julian Calvo and the Eastern Suburbs Yoga Centre
The Eastern Suburbs Centre was established in 1985 by Dianne Curry, Julians first and only yoga teacher and to whom he's very thankful for inspiring and causing him to fall in love with yoga. In the early years Julians practice was strongly influenced by a small group of yogis, including Dianne, Eileen Hall, Robert Lucas, Richard Weinberg and Jimmy. Their dedication was beautiful to watch and was an overriding factor for him in becoming a keen practitioner and eventually a yoga teacher. To them he says 'a very special thanks'. Julian acknowledges the great yoga masters, especially B.K.S Iyengar and Sri Krishna Pattabhi Jois, who have contributed so much to what yoga is today and whose styles are deeply rooted in his psyche. His practice has evolved over twenty years into a very individual one, in an attempt to maintain his teaching fresh and creative. His passion has not dwindled over this period and he looks towards his yoga day as if it was his first.	"Yoga poses should never become boring, they are constantly evolving, hence one should be challenged every time one's feet step on the yoga mat. Be physically alert, mentally present but calm, emotionally focused with the everpresent breath overlooking the whole process. Yoga without being consciously aware of the breath is not yoga." Julian feels the inner smile technique helps the practitioner let go of the physical rigidity, softens the mind and allows the breath to become the vessel to understanding the different levels of the pose. Yoga is a gradual process don't rush it. The school is very happy to acknowledge that for many years it has had the support of a dedicated group of caring and loyal teachers who have greatly contributed to its very positive and calming energy. Come and enjoy, Namaste.
