YOGA FOR ALL
any age, any ability
Yogic Life classes
Yoga classes at Yogic Life are based on the system devised by Swami Satyanananda Saraswati and are available to everyone, whatever their background or belief. It is integral yoga which harmonises and balances all aspects of the being – the mind, body, breath, emotions, psyche and spirit. The gentlest of yoga practices can be those with the most profound impact on all levels, if they are practised with full awareness.
Yoga for beginners offers people the chance to take 90 minutes for themselves out of a busy schedule. Straightaway students are given a toolkit of practices they can take away and use at home. Attending a yoga class once a week will bring change and benefits, however this process is further accelerated at any level when yoga is practised regularly between classes.

History
Caroline/Satyadhara has been studying yoga since her teens and practising Satyananda Yoga since the early 1990s. She studied with the Bihar School Of Yoga and Satyananda Yoga Centres UK and Eire, both accredited by the British Wheel of Yoga and has been teaching in Coventry since 2011. She set up Yogic Life in Earlsdon four years ago. She was a student of Swami Satyaprakash in Birmingham for 12 years, has been a teacher member of the British Wheel of Yoga for eight years, is a friend of the Satyananda Yoga Centre in Birmingham and is currently editor of Yoga Voices, the British Wheel’s regional magazine for the West Midlands.

The Bihar School of Yoga in Northern India was founded in 1964 by Sri Swami Satyananda Saraswati to impart yogic training to householders and sannyasins alike. The Yoga techniques developed there are a synthesis of many approaches to personal development, based on traditional vedantic, tantric and yogic teachings in conjunction with contemporary physical and mental health sciences.

A human being is part of the whole…. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical illusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few people close to us."
Albert Einstein
It's not that I am so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer
Albert Einstein
Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside
Ramana Maharshi
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Albert Einstein
Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it
Rumi
