Are you looking for a system of wellness that supports physical, mental and emotional wellness? Try Yoga - an ancient practice developed to teach us happiness and at the same time perfect to improve our physical health and fitness.

Yoga recognised thousands of years ago that a wandering mind is an unhappy mind. Yoga offers a delicious workout that draws on mental focus, breathing and the sacredness of relaxation to still our mind and live in the present moment.

I offer Yoga classes for fitness, Yoga for special health conditions and for emotional wellbeing. For the latter two, I often combine Yoga with Feldenkrais and Somatics. Special health classes include women's health and menopause, digestive health, healthy weight and body confidence and better sleep

Yoga for Fitness

Yoga is a great way to support our health and fitness.

Asanas (the poses) improve strength and flexibility, support mobility and balance and can release chronic tightness and tension.

Yoga poses can be held for periods of time or can be joined in a flow.

I teach two fitness Yoga classes online: Yoga Warrior Flow and Yoga Core Flow. I also offer private classes for those who need to work on special issues, such as back pain or weight loss.

Yoga for Special Health Conditions

I offer special Yoga and somatic health classes for special health conditions including

* digestive health
* menopause
* women's health
* insomnia
* jaw and neck tension
* lymphatic health

Chronic health conditions benefit from the physical and emotional healing practices that Yoga and Chi Gong offer. Stress has been linked to many chronic conditions and Yoga can help to build stress resilience.

Yoga for Stress Relief

Yoga supports the mind. Yoga practices have become popular in psychotherapeutic settings: meditation, breathing, mindfulness and, of course, movement.

Yoga movement can  ground us when we feel overwhelmed, energise us when our mood is low and support us through anxiety, restlessness, even addiction.

Yoga also offers reflective practices that invite us to look deeper at our emotional landscape.

All Yoga is a Practice for Emotional Wellbeing

Yoga and Chi Gong (also sometimes called Chinese Yoga) are always more than just a movement practice. Yoga recognised thousands of years ago that a wandering mind is an unhappy mind. This is in line with modern psychotherapeutic research.

Yoga can help us "still our mind", to let go of unhelpful patterns of thinking, that is, stop ruminating about the past or future and instead live in the present moment. Many Yoga practices have become popular in present day counselling and psychotherapeutic settings: meditation, breathing, mindfulness and, of course, also movement.

Yoga also offers reflective practices that invite us to look deeper at our emotional landscape. These models of self reflection can be described as body-psychotherapeutic. They are poetic maps that can help us find out what is truly important to us. Yoga can connect us to a life in which we are living our dreams, goals and ambitions, in harmony with nature, ourselves, our family, friends and others.

Yoga For Fitness

Yoga is also an excellent way to get and keep fit!

Many people just think of stretching when they think of Yoga but Yoga is lot more than that: Of course, the asanas (postures) can help to lengthen and release tight muscles but they can also build strength and stamina, improve balance and a lot more.

I offer three Yoga for Fitness classes. They are slow flowing classes. Slow movements are great for our body and mind. They help to improve the physical body as described above and also focus our mind. Slow flowing movements can be like moving meditations.

Yoga Warrior Flow 60 minutes: Tuesday evening 7-8
Yoga Warrior Flow 75 minutes: Wednesday morning 9-10.15
Yoga Core Flow: Saturday mornings 9-10

Classes are slow and strong. 

I love the variety of styles and practices that Yoga offers - flowing or still, strong or gentle, meditatively calm or challenging...  Yoga can meet us where we are. It offers exactly what we need for our physical and emotional health. It does not judge us but instead supports our personality, our "constitution", which, Yoga acknowledges, isn't fixed but is open to change. We may feel like a different person when we are at work compared to when we spend time at home or with friends, we may be affected by the seasons, be sociable in summer and withdrawn in winter. Yoga can support us throughout these natural changes.  

Yoga supports us through our life. It has accompanied me throughout the years. I started as a teenager when Yoga helped me with anxiety. Yoga supported me through young adulthood, at university, challenges at work, digestive issues, cancer, intimate health issues and menopause. My actual practice has changed hugely over the years but it's still Yoga. Yoga can supports us at any time of our life, whatever our health or mindset.

Teaching Yoga is very special as it offers such a huge range of tools to a teacher. Yoga has supported some of my students through physical and emotional challenges whilst other students just enjoy the delicious workout. Yoga can melt away the tension and stress of the day. It can help us reconnect to joy and inner peace of mind. It empowers us. Yoga also offers models of self reflection that can support our emotional landscape. A truly all-round practice!
