Whether you're a total beginner or experienced Yogi - my classes have plenty of progressions and regressions to suit everyone.
✨Hatha Yoga is generally slower paced and concentrates on holding static postures and really experiencing the sensations of them as opposed to a faster 'vinyasa' or 'asthtanga' style class.
✨I will guide you to find space mentally and physically using breath work, medita
tion, increasing strength, and improving flexibility and mobility through movement.
✨I personally found Yoga after years of suffering with chronic back pain, mainly to do with my job but also years of developing a bad posture. It honestly changed my life for the better.
✨As a Dental Hygienist I studied anatomy and physiology in depth and find it fascinating - especially combined with the theory and philosophy of Yoga and also the Aerial arts (hoop, silks and trapeze) which is another passion of mine.
✨The main aims of my classes are for students to learn more about themselves - locate and fix imbalances and therefore reducing risk of injury by keeping the muscles and joints supple. Yoga also helps to improve posture and release tension and trauma stored in the body. Meditation and breath work helps tap into your parasympathetic 'rest and repair' nervous system which helps lower stress, reduce anxiety and and boosts the immune system.
✨Opening the body and increasing flexibility and mobility has amazing benefits from making simple everyday tasks more comfortable to helping you be more resilient to injury as the deep muscles which stabilise your joints become stronger.

💫AERIAL
✨Aerial Yoga is a restorative class which is taught very similarly to my regular classes with the addition of an Aerial Yoga Hammock which is has three handles at different levels to help you perform different poses. It makes a lot of positions much more accessible and also you get to hang out upside-down which is a lot of fun.
✨ Aerial Hoop or 'Lyra' is a steel circular structure which you move around and make shapes in.
✨ Aerial Silks / Tissue is fabric that you climb and create shapes with your body using different types of wraps. You can also 'drop' using the material.
✨Don't worry if you feel you're 'not flexible enough' or 'not strong enough' as this all comes with practice - you will feel your body change every week.
