When teaching yoga my aim is to create a
friendly, relaxed and safe environment in which students can let go of their everyday pressures and stresses, and allow themselves to enjoy the many benefits that yoga brings.
I believe that yoga is best taught in smaller groups making learning more
personalised
and tailored to each student’s specific needs. There is usually a
maximum
of 8 in a class so students can receive good individual attention. Students
are urged to practice within their own capabilities and at their own pace, working
in harmony with their body rather than pushing it to the absolute limit; in time
and with patience their practice will grow.
My own yoga practice is influenced by
Iyengar (safe,
precise and progressive) and
Astanga Vinyasa
(flowing, strong,
dynamic and physical) yoga “styles”. I combine these styles in the adult
sessions that I run, depending on the needs and experience of the students, whether
complete
beginners or intermediates.
My teaching focuses on good and safe alignment in each posture and an anatomical
focus. Postures are practised in stages (kramas) so that students can find their
own level. I encourage an awareness
of the breath throughout the class
and use hands-on adjustments and props/supports to enable students to fully experience
their yoga.
All classes end with a period of relaxation,which allows the body and mind to
settle and absorb the benefits of your session, slowly preparing you to re-enter
your daily life feeling refreshed and invigorated.
All necessary
equipment is provided (mats, blocks, belts), as well as a cosy blanket and lavender eye pillow for the end of practice relaxation!
