Please put aside, for a few moments, any notions or ideas you have about practising yoga… Whether it’s from the lycra-clad contortionists you’ve seen on social media, or a stretch-’til-you-sweat class you’ve taken at the gym, or stories of those mysterious dread-locked crazed holy men who meditate for hours a day on mountaintops.
What I offer is a very different – yet authentic – approach.
This is a physical but non-athletic yoga practice, which means that you can begin today, regardless of your age, size or fitness level.
It’s about releasing deep tensions in your body through the use of props in supported yoga poses. It’s about rediscovering the inherent balance and function of your body when it is opened and aligned. It’s also about experiencing a quiet, calm, peaceful state of mind and, ultimately, the blissful experience of knowing your true Self.
The feeling of deep alignment and well-being, plus this ‘bliss factor’, make it an enjoyable physical activity that you will look forward to—it’s one health habit you’ll absolutely love to keep!
How are you feeling in your body, right now?
Do you have aches and pains?
This approach is particularly effective for resolving aches and pains. You will be guided how to release deep spinal tensions (the cause of your pain) in your body from tail to top: from the hips and lower back, up into the shoulders and neck.
If you have more intense pain, or need faster relief, it’s also worth considering private yoga bodywork sessions.
Are you stressed, anxious—your mind racing over all the things you need to do—and finding it difficult to relax?
The connection of mind and body—through the simple but powerful guided awareness and breathing practice, supported and modified yoga poses – incorporated within every class—allows you to gently bring both into calm balance.
Are you feeling stiff and lethargic from a lack of exercise, and want to learn easy, simple tools to look after your body and enrich your life?
This approach offers a physical, but non-athletic practice—meaning you will definitely experience the physical benefits of a stronger, more balanced, more supple body, but you won’t be ‘wrecking’ yourself to have a ‘good’ session. It’s all about releasing and lengthening rather than tightening and compressing.
You will notice the difference even after one class!
Are you ready to experience the bliss?
Sometimes it can be a little intimidating to show up to a new class, especially online, but I promise that we are a very friendly and welcoming bunch, and the classes are relaxed and light hearted. I will send you all the instructions on how to join in easily.
