SAS Ashtanga yoga is taught every Wednesdays from 7-8.30pm

 My name is Christos and I can help you to increase your strength, flexibility, focus and concentration with yoga. Within a few weeks of regular practise you will start to notice an increased feeling of calm, wellbeing and fitness. You will be more resistant to the daily stresses and strains of everyday life and will be able to do whatever it is you do but with greater ease and joy. Yoga is unlike any other training system or physical workout, it can effectively slow down the aging process due to its highly internal nature and deep effect on all the major organ systems of the human body.  

Ashtanga yoga is a system of yoga transmitted to the modern world by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (1915-2009). This method of yoga involves synchronizing the breath with a progressive series of postures—a process producing intense internal heat and a profuse, purifying sweat that detoxifies muscles and organs. The result is improved circulation, a light and strong body, and a calm mind.

Ashtanga yoga literally means "eight-limbed yoga," as outlined by the sage Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras. According to Patanjali, the path of internal purification for revealing the Universal Self consists of the following eight spiritual practices:

 

Yama [moral codes]

Niyama [self-purification and study]

Asana [posture]

Pranayama [breath control]

Pratyahara [sense control]

Dharana [concentration]

Dhyana [meditation]

Samadhi [absorption into the Universal]

 

Classes are part of the weekly class rota, members paying for full month fees are entitled to attend for free otherwise they are £7 per session or £65 for 10 lessons.

Book a friend or relative to attend.

Women’s Safety 4 U Course Saturday 22nd 1.30-3.30pm

 

As part of our 25th Silver celebration we are offering a free afternoon course on women’s safety, by Master Andrew Sofos. Violence against women and girls has escalated over the years. In overall terms, around half of all women and girls in England and Wales could recall being victims of violence over their lifetime.

 

1. Nearly 1 million women experience at least one incident of domestic abuse each year (British Crime Survey (BCS) self-completion questionnaire, 2007/08).

 

2. Close to 10,000 women are sexually assaulted every week (BCS self-completion questionnaire, July 2008).

 

3. At least 750,000 children a year witness domestic violence (Department of Health, 2002).

 

The paradox of self-defence is that the more prepared you are, the less likely you are to need it. When you can recognise and respond effectively to potentially dangerous situations, you are more confident in your everyday activities. You are also less likely to become a target of crime.

 

We have been a leading provider in positive activities in London since 1986 and are experts in training and helping change lives for many people, through the ethos and positive values of the Chinese martial arts that date back over three thousand years.

 

New government initiative is under way for Violence against women and girls; it can have a devastating effect on individuals and the communities in which they live. It ruins lives, breaks apart families and has an impact across the generations. I have seen evidence of the devastation it brings.

 

We are in the business of helping young people and adults to a better and safer environment; we seek to engage the mind, educate the Body, and empower the Spirit to find a new positive person, via our new “Safety 4U” programme devised specially for women and girls that have or may become victims of crime.

 

I have been teaching women's self-defence programs for over 25 years and am a tireless advocate of self-reliance and responsibility, encouraging women to actively protect their life through awareness and education.

 

Women fight back every day around the world against oppression, crime and brutality. But these stories rarely ever make headlines. The Governments new strategy to end violence against women and girls is a wakeup call. I believe with the help of “saftey4U” women will be taught to replace fear with skills, knowledge and confidence, in a matter of only 12 weeks. This is Life Skills with the true meaning of the words.

 

SAS Positive Activities Ltd promote The United Nations Development Fund for Women and invites you to join their "Say NO to Violence Against Women" Campaign - an ever-growing movement of people who call for global action to end violence against women.

 

Sexual harassment and sexual violence thrive on silence. Together we can put a stop to this, by working in partnership, engaging women and girls; I believe we can change state of minds to a positive mental attitude that will be a new start for our children of tomorrow.
