Our Story
YogaSilva is a yoga group led by Silva Cooper. Yoga classes are held in Lechlade, Glos at the Pavilion or New Memorial Hall and in South Marston, Wilts at the Village Hall. Silva started her journey to Yoga following several years of repeated lower back pain. She tried Yoga to help and has been in love with it ever since.
Silva found the improvement in her back health to be incredible; she does not suffer with any back pain now and is stronger than ever before. Her increased strength and flexibility has benefited other sports she participates in such as running, mountain biking and swimming. Silva wanted others to benefit from Yoga so decided to train as a teacher. She trained at the Sam Rao Yoga School and qualified in April 2016.
“I love the flow and movement of Yoga; the connection between body, mind and breath. I want to understand why every posture and move will benefit my body and pass this knowledge on when I teach.”
Within each class, Silva teaches Hatha Yoga which flows from one pose to another and allows the student time to settle in each posture, enjoy the stretch and build strength.
Silva’s personal training is in Hatha, Hatha Flow and Iyengar Yoga. Postural alignment and student safety is very important to her but the most important element of all her classes is to create a rewarding and enjoyable experience.
