Traditional Yoga
body / breath / mind
Traditional Yoga works on our entire being at many levels to bring harmony and balance. Yoga is popularised for flexibility, which is indeed a part. However it's not necessarily the most important part, and it's fine if your not currently especially flexible.
The fundamental core of Yoga is the calming of our agitated mind. We aim to cut the mental chatter; silence our inner critic, that doubting, blaming voice; soothe our anxiety and fears; set aside our endless judging commentary on life. We bring our attention to the present moment, focusing firmly on the specific Yoga position. Perfectly naturally, a state of peace and joy arises. It's often not so easy, as the thoughts tend to come back, yet with persistent practice, we can gradually improve.

All levels
Yoga for all – come as you are
My classes are open to all, irrespective of your prior experience, and fitness level. Each technique has variations that make it either easier or more challenging. Anyone can take a rest as needed or challenge themselves to hold a little longer. We each aim to find a position where we can remain still and focus.
Classes include periods of a few minutes standing and of sitting on the floor, and moving between the two. If you are comfortable with that then you should be fine, however any serious injuries or health conditions please check with me first. For the more physically capable students, there is always another level of extra challenge should you desire it.

I wholeheartedly recommend the monthly pass as it encourages regular practice for meaningful benefits. It's excellent value, as you could attend 12 classes for only £30! Plus it's reduces the admin, with payment by repeating bank transfer.
The single class payment is cash or transfer. I don't have facilities to accept card or app payments at the moment.
