Working out in the gym is not for everybody. For gentle,
uncompetitive but effective exercise, or as an add-on to your Ms.Nunlinee Ratchatawuttianan (Lin)
regular workout, get into the yoga habit and feel the difference YOGA TEACHER
as your muscles gently stretch and your mind finds calm.

Doing yoga relaxes, concentrates and energizes the mind
and body. Spinal flexibility and muscle elasticity increase,
the respiratory capacity expands, and the internal organs are
gently massaged. Tension in the body and mind is released,
concentration improves, and the damaged tissues are allowed
to heal naturally.

Yoga is suitable for anyone of any age, and can be practiced
alongside other forms of exercise, or by itself, boosting both
health and happiness.

Enjoy yoga class at your Club

~ Every Monday at 6:30 – 7:30 p.m.
