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
This class is an invitation to slow down, ease your body, use your breath in a therapeutic way and calm your nervous system. Starting slowly with mindful breathing. Moving through your body to warm, release, stretch and free your joints. The practice progresses to a slow flow visiting key postures and sequences that are more gentle. We spend most of the time reclined, seated, prone and on hands and knees. This class is designed to ease the tight and tense spots in your body. We move slowly and softly. This practice is a good partner to more dynamic exercise. Suitable for beginners and anyone looking to deeply connect to their body through a softer practice. We end in a luxurious relaxation.
