Why Choose Touched by Yoga
We Inspire
We believe in inspiring people to take the lead in making positive change. We inspire through our belief, passion and action for wellness as a rudimentary cause.
- Joy – We believe in the feeling of joy created by yoga, movement and meditation that flows through to building stronger relationships with oneself and others. It facilitates the sentiment of pleasure and compassion in all spheres of our daily lives.
- Love – This is what it is all about!! Connecting to your sense of love, the love for yourself, the love that you are, the force of love. Both giving and receiving love in a caring and compassionate way to all beings.
- Being Present – The power of now, mindfulness. Knowing that you will learn what you need to learn, exactly when you are ready to do so. There is no rush, no race, simply feel your way into now.
- Trust – Trusting in the simple fact, that all is as it should be. Trusting your intuition; having faith that everything is ok.
- Impermanence – NO-THING is permanent. NO-THING has a hold on us. The freedom from all perceived limitations be they emotional, behavioral, or physical blocks.
- Do the experiment – Delve into your physical or emotional pain however it manifests; suffering, discomfort, fear. Just as you delve into your joy, love and happiness, explore and embrace all facets of yourself. Find the joy in the freedom that this unearthing offers.

Touch
Why are we called ‘Touched by Yoga’ ?
Get in Touch
- With yourself and in-turn, build more meaningful relationships with those around you.
- With your FEELINGS, your felt sense; one of your most subtle bodies. Understanding all that you are and all that you do through how it feels, as opposed to understanding or experiencing it within your mind.
Power of Touch
- Communicate love, create physical or emotional feelings of warmth, safety and trust
- Boost your immune system and lower blood pressure
- Reduce depression, stress, or pain
- Improve the overall quality of sleep
- Cultivates a greater sense of a happy mood
- Soothe and stimulate, it simply feels good to touch and be touched
Touching Communication
- Touch is known as the primary language of compassion and is fundamental to human communication.
- Listen, speak and communicate with intention, from your heart. You can touch people powerfully with your words, with your actions. You can touch without the physical act of touching.
