Warming up exercises and postures (Asana) to help relax, stretch and tone the body. Breathing practices (Pranayama) to increase breath awareness and to help focus the mind. Relaxation practices to allow the body and mind to unwind.
Sometimes within a class there may be meditation or visualisation practice to bring focus to the mind which may help to relieve stress.
A fundamental feature of Yoga is its non-competitive stance. Since this class is mixed ability students are encouraged to work at their comfortable level. Nothing in my class is compulsory, there is always an alternative which offers you the same benefits. I tend to teach in what I would call the “Bus-Stop Approach”. This means that we work into postures and practices in stages and you simply “get off at your stop.” With such an approach you are in control of where you get off.

Stewart teaches an eclectic style of Yoga incorporating elements of Iyengar, Yin, Vinyasa and Restorative style Yoga. His emphasis is on the individual embracing their Yoga within the freedom of their body. Keen features include the integration of breath work and aspects of meditation. He has a BWYQ Diploma in Yoga Teaching (Level 4) qualification since 2011 from the British Wheel of Yoga. His tutors were Terri Hilder and Maureen McCarthy. Since qualification he has completed the Pranayama Module with Philip Xerri in 2013. His classes enable an individual to sequentially develop and nurture their own Yoga. Using down-to-earth and enabling instruction, he encourages his students to connect with their deeper, more subtle strength, and guides them into expanding that strength into calm, powerful movement.
