I first started to practice yoga to ‘clear my mind’ and was astounded as to how much better I felt after each class. My career was working in a nursery school and as I practiced yoga myself I was given the opportunity to train to teach yoga to children. When I returned to nursery and introduced yoga to the children I was amazed how well they engaged. The feedback from parents and the children was very positive.
I reduced my working hours in nursery and enhanced my yoga training. Baby Yoga and Children’s, Family and Community Yoga were my first independent courses. A period of time later, I further enhanced my training to include Special Yoga for children with special needs and disabilities (therapeutic yoga). I was really enjoying my new career and loved each class that I took and found that I was repeatedly being asked by the parents if I did any classes for adults. I hadn’t ever intended to teach yoga to adults, as my experiences were with children, but as time continued with so many more asking for adult classes that I decided to look into it further. This was a big decision for me! I tried a distance course (200 hours), with monthly sessions followed with assignments at home, but after 12 month’s this was not working out well with my schedule and felt that I had to leave.
The Om Yoga Show in Manchester was where I finally made my decision as to which training was the one for me. I researched many different courses before I came to my final decision which was to train at a retreat centre in Dublin with a Buddhist monk from Zenways, and I have not regretted this decision. Since this, I have continued to develop my practice adding to my Qigong training too.
Over my many years of practicing yoga I met many people who said that they had tried yoga once, they didn’t return as they weren’t flexible enough (or similar reasons). I wanted to encourage all people to have the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of yoga so I have a focus on my classes having the beginner in mind. My classes encourage to practice with kindness, awareness, alignment and mindfulness. This flows from my Zen Yoga classes, but is also a part of all of my classes. I offer a range of yoga sessions for all ages and abilities, in open classes (open to the public) and in closed groups e.g. Guiding groups, schools (teachers/students), holiday clubs, parent support groups, community social groups etc. I take yoga to the group in their own setting! I also work with people 1-1 in the home environment, for those who prefer the comfort of their own home to attending a class. I am now involved in a range of community classes at Rhyddings Park Coach House - please see above for more details. If you would like further details please contact me at yogawithbernie@gmail.com
