This class is a bit of time just for you. Time to let go of your day-to-day stresses and responsibilities and just be. Be yourself. In your body.
The yoga I teach is not about contorting your body into complicated postures and seeing how long you can hold them. It's about (re)engaging with your body and learning to feel how it needs to move today. The experience is at once subtle and very powerful and is suitable for every body, at every age. With time, this practice can have a profound effect on both physical and emotional wellbeing.

After 20 years as a successful business analyst, a diagnosis of ME/CFS in 2012 led to a major reassessment of my priorities and a complete change of direction. Since 2015 I have retrained in the two practices that proved key to restoring my own health and wellbeing: hypnotherapy and yoga. I completed my training in Clinical, Analytical and Medical Hypnotherapy in 2015. Later the same year I began a three-year, 500-hour Teaching Diploma with Inner Yoga Trust which I will complete in Summer 2018. Using these two powerful modalities, separately or together, I work with clients who are ready to make lasting changes in their life, whether these are physical, mental, emotional or a combination of all three.
The yoga that I practice and teach explores the classical postures (or asanas) of traditional Hatha yoga through the natural movements of each individual body. It is not about striving to attain and hold complex physical postures, but rather about learning to feel how your body needs to move today. The experience is at once both gentle and incredibly powerful. With time, this practice can have a profound effect on both physical and emotional wellbeing. The approach is inspired by the work of Vanda Scaravelli who adapted the teachings of her teacher, Sri B.K.S. Iyengar, to address the impact of the modern, sedentary lifestyle on our Western bodies and posture.
