I teach a gentle, more intuitive style of Hatha Yoga than traditional Indian Hatha. This is known as Sama Yoga (https://www.samayoga.info/teacher/stefanie-young/), infused with elements of Qi Gong and Tai Chi as well as some more relaxing Yin postures. Mostly, I aim to feel the energy of the class, and respond to the needs of the yogis in the room.
Besides postures, I use breathwork (pranayama), mantra, yoga nidra and short meditations. Sama Yoga plays a big part, both in my language and the poses, and I have noticed, that the classes packed full of Sama Yoga elements, are those that make the biggest difference to the students.
I also teach Chair Yoga and Yin Yoga. I look forward to sharing yoga with you!

Description
Are you new to Yoga? Or has it been a while since you were last on the mat? We will start slowly and gently, discovering how we feel in the body as we move into a series of yoga poses to the extent that we can at the time. We will develop an understanding of the benefits of each and how to enter and exit each pose smoothly and safely. We will also look at variations that may be more beneficial for individual needs. We will synchronise the movements with the breath and learn some helpful pranayamas you can use on and off the mat as well as some simple mantras and their benefits. Yoga is wonderful in helping to manage and reduce stress, increase flexibility, strength and muscle tone, and effectively balance our entire system.
