Classes
It can be daunting to walk into a class to do something new with people you've never met, but believe me, that first time is the hardest bit! For a start, yoga is personal and non-competitive and is for every single body type, shape, size and age.
Events & Workshops
A yoga workshop or day retreat is a real gift to yourself. Time to create an oasis of peace and calm in a busy life, to recharge the batteries, have some fun, meet and enjoy the company of others or take your yoga to a deeper level
I have been teaching classes, workplace yoga, retreats and workshops full-time since 2012.
I believe in teaching with warmth and creating a
safe and nurturing environment for every body.
Yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual discipline originating in India dating back probably to about 3000 years BC and based on the philosophy of Patanjali who wrote down a series of yoga sutras outlining practises and ways of living.
It is a complete practise, using body, breath and mind. In my classes there are people of all ages, sizes and abilties (beginners to yoga teachers). Yoga works on different levels and yoga teachers are skilled in teaching in stages or modifying to suit who's in the class. Unlike gym classes you will meet the same people and all classes are friendly and supportive.
There's a growing body of research which demonstrate just some of the benefits of practising yoga. Here are some of the ways yoga may be able to help you:
Relax, reduce stress and tension
Ease back pain and other physical discomfort
Increase flexibility and strengthen core muscles
Ease negative thinking, encourage positive outlook and enhance self-esteem
Develop your understanding of yourself and the world around you
