Yoga Evening Class
Whilst all aspects of Yoga make up a key part of my life, I promote Yoga as a physical, mental and spiritual discipline that will enhance every aspect of your life.
Classes are structured, friendly and enjoyable with students of mixed ability and ages and come from a range of backgrounds that include teachers, tradesmen/women, medical professionals and business people.
Classes start with warming and stretching the body. We then follow a structured plan to work every part of the body through Asana. Finishing with 15 minutes of Pranayama (breathing techniques), relaxation and meditation.

About Yoga
In our hectic modern world many people are taking ‘time out’ to practice yoga - a system of philosophy that originated in India 5,000 years ago. Everyone can practice yoga, regardless of age, sex or ability.Yoga offers us a holistic approach to body, mind and spirit, which can provide us with the ‘tools’ to cope with the challenges of daily life.
Yoga can also complement medical science and therapy for specific conditions.You may be drawn to yoga simply for health and fitness, or be seeking relief for a specific physical condition. You might want help with managing stress, or would like pregnancy yoga classes or exercises suitable for the less able-bodied.
Whatever your objectives, there are yoga classes that can meet them. By making yoga a part of your daily routine, you may become aware of subtle changes in your approach to life. In your yoga class you may well begin to glimpse a state of inner peace...your true Nature.
What is Yoga?
The Sanskrit word yoga is translated as 'union' between mind, body and spirit. In the West, the most widely taught form of yoga is Hatha Yoga with classes offering students exercises to stretch and flex the body, develop breath awareness, relaxation and sometimes meditation.
Many British Wheel of Yoga classes begin with limbering moves and sequences to warm up the muscles and joints. This prepares the body and mind for asana (posture) work. These exercises may be referred to as 'pawanmuktasana' (wind/energy-releasing postures). Asana Asanas (yoga postures) strengthen and tone the body and improve the flow of energy - regulating physical systems of the body and breath, and stilling the mind for meditation.
