Open Class
These classes include settling in and awareness, gentle warm up, followed by both static postures and sequences designed to build strength, release tension and help to settle the mind so that we can enjoy pranayama, meditation and yoga nidra. Variations, modifications and the use of props are regularly offered as the classes are intended to suit varying degrees of abilities and needs.

My journey with yoga began more than 15 years ago, when I discovered its healing power for my body and mind. Due to our crazy modern lifestyle and different stressors, I went through a period of bad health. I realised that there was one space that I kept returning to in order to find relief from it all - the yoga mat. The soothing
effect that the practice had on my body was amazing. Yet, the calming effect it had on my mind was even greater. I was becoming more aware of my body, all the areas where tension was stored and especially my breathing patterns (or lack thereof)! I loved the rediscovered feeling of how everything within us is interconnected, all the layers, and not just the physical body!
Experiencing something that has had such a profound and transformative effect on your life is a great motivation to want to share it with other people. With the encouragement of my then teacher, I enrolled onto the teacher training, and the rest is history as they say!
I gained my qualification with the Traditional Yoga Association™ under Swami Ambikananda’s guidance. I feel honoured and privileged to be part of this lineage and tradition. I’m a member of the TYA™, fully insured and First Aid trained.
Although passing my teacher’s exam was one of the best moments in my life, I feel I am a forever student - continuing to attend workshops, training and CPDS with uninterrupted enthusiasm!
