Mountain Ridge Yoga

Mountain Ridge Yoga Bringing Yoga to our community I am a avid yoga lover, who has been practicing yoga since my 20's. The Asanas (poses) are only one part of yoga.

Now in my late 40's I enjoy all practices and I am willing to give all styles a go. It wasn't until I found my current teacher, Doris, who I have been with for 8 years now, that I really came to love yoga. Doris taught me so many things but the main take away are:
Its just you and your mat no matter how many people are in the class. Yoga is not about how bendy or stretchy you are, but how you feel in the pose. Always listen to your body and come out of or modify a pose when needed. Smile and enjoy yourself. She encouraged me to become a teacher and I am so glad I took her advice. I am an IYTA trained teacher with a Diploma in Yoga, having completed 460 hours of training. I am a Zama Institute certified Yin Yoga teacher. I am Pranayama and mediation teacher with my Certificate 1, Certificate 2 and Certificate 3, trained with the IYTA with David Burgess. I am a Reiki Master. I am certified in aroma touch massages. I am a certified sound healer. I have my First Aid and CPR certified.

So here we are.
The last week of yoga for 2025.
It has been so awesome to meet people in their practice.

That is what yoga is, it’s a practice.
But it’s doesn’t have to be a once a week kind of thing, it can be taken out into your life and it can be a lived experience.
We begin with a welcome, a scan not just of the external environment, but also the internal environment(body, breath, mind, consciousness, if you wish). So it starts with you.
In class we learn to breathe durning challenging poses, so we can also breathe during challenging times in life.
In class we sit with our bodies, notice throughout the class what our bodies feel, respond too, how tension can feel and how realised and softened
can feel. This too is so we can start to notice in life how is our body responding to situations, then choosing is that response suited to the situation or can I invite it to soften and realise, do I stay or do I move.
In class we learn that it’s ok to take 5 to 30 minutes to rest. That rest maybe a nap, or guided meditation or self meditation. We take that, apply it to life, know we can not pour from an empty cup. So it is ok to rest.

I do hope you have enjoyed your year of practice. I appreciate the support throughout the year and I hope to see you on the mat/chair in February 2026.

Kind regards
Denise

50hr Yin training complete.
It is always good to get into some kind of yoga training, even more so when it is a teacher you have been wanting to train with for years.
Then they (the teacher) is just so amazing and the course so well set out
that you are inspired and informed with some amazing tools and tip bits. I am so lucky that these opportunities pop up and I able to respond.
