6 Ways Yoga
Sam Tinkler
I was initially drawn to yoga to complement my gym based fitness. Within a few classes I was hooked, drawn by not only the effect Yoga had on me physically but also emotionally and mentally. Yoga teaches you how to really listen to, and connect with, your body, your breath, and your mind. This connection is fundamental not only to my own personal practice, but also to my teaching. Drawing from the flow of Vinyasa and Hatha yoga and also the more passive and longer held postures of Yin yoga, my classes include a combination of flowing postures and held postures, to challenge the body in different ways, enabling deeper exploration of the practice and all the positive effects that Yoga brings. I hope that you will leave my classes feeling not only more flexible, stronger and invigorated, but also calmed, balanced and restored.

Description

A class designed around the fundamentals of yoga. Each week you will be guided through an introduction and revisiting of yoga poses, including alignment tips. You’ll be guided to use your breath intentionally to enhance each posture. You will experience yoga sequences that link one posture to another following a theme. You will practice breath awareness and pranayama (breath control practices). Some quiet contemplation is an important element of a yoga class.
Suitable for all levels.
