Always happy to be offering additional Thai yoga massage bodywork over winter. There are two types of treatments you can receive with me this winter 💆

Traditional = dry work, mat based, lovely mix of assisted stretching and massage techniques such as palming, thumbing, acupressure, and rocking that are deeply resting and supportive. Its firm but meditative movements of pressing, rocking, and yoga-like positions have a distinctive quality making the overall effect one of deep relaxation, rejuvenation, and physical and mental well being.

Dress Code: Loose fitting, comfortable clothing.

Vibe: Grounding, supportive, rejuvenating.

The (very amateur, but I tried) videos in this post demonstrate sequences from a traditional Thai yoga massage.

Fusion = wax based massage on the futon mat, a blend of Thai yoga massage’s assisted stretching with deep tissue massage techniques to create a rhythmic, flowing experience. The mix of dynamic postures with moments of flowing and static massage is deeply nourishing and allows you to drop into softness and allow the massage to mould to your body.

Dress Code: Shorts/underwear with draping provided.

Vibe: Restoring, nourishing, profound relaxation.

60 Minutes | £55

75 Minutes | £62.5

90 Minutes | £70 (best length for this type of work).

The longer the better, so you can have 10% off all 90 minute treatments on the above dates.

Most sessions are at Maitri Studio Belfast. Certain sessions may be available at my home studio in Belfast. Keep me busy via link in bio 🌈🥳🧸🧘‍♀️💆🎄🧑‍🎄⛄️

Hello! will host an open day showcasing teachers and classes all day 10th May 2025. This will be fun and I’ll be teaching an extension of my regular Thursday evening Hatha Vinyasa class as part of the open day 12.30-1.30 🥳🧘‍♀️🌈

I will teach a fluid and mindful Hatha Vinyasa class with a focus on standing and balancing postures. Sometimes easy, sometimes challenging depending on the day, this class will help you find a sense of stability and focus that will allow you to find balance according to your own body. The asana practice will be complimented by a grounding pranayama sequence and a lovely, extended guided relaxation.

Mix this class with other classes on the schedule (swipe right) and make a morning, afternoon, or whole day of yoga. Other classes include Iyengar yoga, aerial yoga, restorative yoga, yin yoga, yoga nidra, yoga for men, Bollywood Zumba and more 🧸

And just like that, I have gravitated back to NI (at least for now). After an eventful few months living and working in Shanghai, I'm back in Northern Ireland, and sorting out a few bits and bobs to get things up and running again. I would love to see you again in a yoga class, or for a Thai massage treatment.

In August I'm running four yoga classes on Thursdays 10th, 17th, 24th, and 31st 6-7.15 at Maitri Studio Belfast. These are Hatha Vinyasa / Jivamukti based yoga classes so we'll flow through a series of postures linking the breath with movement and class will be supported with pranayama, meditation, deep relaxation, and optional hands-on-assists. These classes are open to everyone, although it's best if you have a little yoga experience but you quickly pick things up after a few classes. Feel free to send a message if you have any questions about the classes or want to check if they're the right fit for you.

This month I'm offering Thai massage treatments at Maitri Studio Belfast starting from Thursday 10th August. Appointments are available 10-5.15 on Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays throughout August. Available slots are up on the booking platform, so feel free to book in, or get in touch if you have any questions about the treatment itself or specific time requests. A Thai massage is a little different to a normal massage in that it's a mixture of dynamic yoga stretches, massage techniques, and acupressure. However it's all done lying down so it's both deeply relaxing and rejuvenating while also being beneficial for flexibility and helping keep the body loose, supple, and pain free. Here are two videos that give you an example of what a Thai massage treatment can look like:

Lastly, I am moving to a new booking platform called momence. I've used this platform for a studio I go to when I visit London, and it is super efficient. You have to make your initial booking online, then you can download the app on your phone and make future bookings there. For all of August you can use the code AUG10 to receive 10% off yoga classes and Thai massage treatments at checkout.

Pieces of Yoga

Pieces of Yoga is my offering to the Belfast yoga community. No matter your age, gender, fitness level, I want to be able to help you put together a yoga practice piece by piece that suits you and your needs. I offer classes in various community yoga spaces in Belfast and Lisburn. Please feel free to check out my ‘Events’ page for my most up to date classes and workshops.

My name is Steven - and I am an 800-Hour Certified Jivamukti Yoga Teacher. I teach yoga in the lineage of Jivamukti Yoga: a strong asana practice underpinned by a compassionate and ethical lifestyle. As developed by Sharon Gannon and David Life, Jivamukti Yoga adheres to five central tenets:

Ahimsa: A nonviolent, compassionate lifestyle extending to other animals, the environment and all living beings, emphasising ethical vegetarianism and animal rights.

Bhakti: Acknowledgment that Self-realization is the goal of all yoga practices; can be expressed through chanting, the setting of a high intention for the practice or other devotional practices.

Dhyana: Meditation: connecting to that eternal unchanging reality within.

Nada: The development of a sound body and mind through deep listening; can be incorporated in a class using recorded music, spoken word, silence or even the teacher’s voice.

Shastra: Study of the ancient yogic teachings, including Sanskrit chanting, drawn from the Focus of the Month.

Focus: Every month Jivamukti Open classes follow a theme drawn from the focus of the month. This theme inspires the class and may appear in the form of the asana sequence, chanting, teachings from yogic texts or other pillars of inspiration. (https://jivamuktiyoga.com/fotm/)

Qualifications

March 2017: 300-Hour Certified Jivamukti Yoga Teacher

October 2017: 800-Hour Certified Jivamukti Yoga Teacher (Jivamukti Yoga Barcelona)

Inspirational Teachers

Maria Macaya: My friend and mentor for my 800-Hour Jivamukti Apprenticeship. Maria specialises in teaching yoga to trauma survivors and people struggling with depression through her non-profit foundation Radika.

Ulrike Schafer / Sophia Margarete: My ‘team’ at the Jivamukti Teacher Training continue to inspire me and help me grow as a teacher.

Sharon Gannon (New York), Yogeswari (International), Moritz Ulrich (Berlin), Olga Oskarbina (Barcelona), Karina Gusalova (Barcelona): Inspirational and international Jivamukti yoga teachers.

Christina Cheng, Julia Cui, and Chops Hsu from Pure Yoga Shanghai for cultivating my yoga practice and assisting so generously when I could barely touch my toes.

Jivamukti Yoga Classes

Jivamukti Yoga Open Class (90 Minutes)

An accessible Hatha-Vinyasa class which takes you deeper in your yoga practice. Classes flow through creative sequences with skilful hands-on-assists supported by pranayama, meditation, chanting, and deep relaxation.

Medium Class

Somewhere in the middle, the Medium class is taught in the Jivamukti style and is ideal for those who would like to spend more time breaking down asanas (postures) and refining their practice. There will be slightly more attention to detail than in an Open class, with a strong emphasis on balancing, inversions and practicing the most common Jivamukti sequences.

Jivamukti Yoga Fundamentals Class (90 Minutes) Best for beginners or students wishing to refine their practice, students are taught “how to do” asanas through the use of props and partner exercises with a strong emphasis on alignment. Week 1: Standing Asanas Week 2: Forward Bending Week 3: Back Bending Week 4: ‘Turning It Upside Down and Putting It All Together'

Yin Yoga Class (75 Minutes)

A quiet, cooling, simple, non-muscular practice, where we hold postures longer (3-5 minutes) to stretch deeply into the body to reach the fascia, connective tissue, and gently open the joints. A great compliment to a regular yang practice.
