DYNAMIC YOGA: PRINCIPLES IN ACTION
FREEDOM FOR BODY, BREATH & MIND.
Recommended CPD for yoga teachers or trainees seeking to incorporate the principles of the yamas & the Gita into their teaching.
Suitable for anyone interested in deepening and embodying their yoga through somatic self enquiry.
Fridays 6.30-8.30pm
Often we find ourselves in competition with others as the culture around us seems geared to drive us to do more and more, faster and faster. Sometimes this ethos unintentionally spills over into our yoga posture practice.
Hardly surprising since asana is often presented to us as control of the body, pranayama as control of the breath & meditation as control of the mind.
Nevertheless in his very first sutra, Patanjali hinted that Yoga is "happening now”, and not just another goal to strive for & achieve in the future. Asana is an awareness state of stable comfort that releases the body from tension; pranayama is the means of releasing the breath from its habituated tendencies to liberate the mind into it’s natural meditative quality.
Godfrey Devereux's Dynamic Yoga is an unique, revealing and liberating sensitisation method that honours the inherent intelligence and integrity of body, breath and mind. By honouring and releasing, rather than controlling or imposing, our deepest nature reveals itself; allowing us to ease into an intimate, nourishing and deeply rewarding relationship with the self and life.

Hi, I'm Debbie Farrar of Feel Now Yoga. I am British Wheel of Yoga qualified & an Independent Yoga Network Yoga Elder. I have been teaching yoga since 1999 and practising since 1977. I draw inspiration for my teaching from nature and my own teachers; Godfrey Devereux, Peter Blackaby and the late Swami Satya Premananda (Satyananda Yoga).
My partner Ross Dixon & I teach yoga classes online & around Brampton, Carlisle, Haltwhistle and Alston. I offer private yoga & meditation tuition in your own home.
We serve a diverse variety of user groups, but specialise in sensible therapeutic yoga which consists of soothing movements to ease away aches and pains, help with joint & muscular problems, stress, depression and anxiety and help you get a good night's sleep.
I also teach a couple of dynamic yoga classes a week, which are slow flow functional movement classes, & my partner Ross’s classes are Functional Yoga. All our classes are mixed ability sensible yoga classes suitable for all abilities including beginners. We prefer inclusivity over exclusivity!
Our yoga teaching provides a supportive framework within which each individual can explore what their own body needs. Feel Now Yoga is an invitation to tune into and trust your own feelings; using posture practice (asana), somatic movements, breath exploration (pranayam) and meditation to reclaim a balanced, harmonious and honest dialogue between Body and Mind.
Debbie also delivers Yoga Foundation Courses & Teacher Trainings. These are online & in person in chorley, Lancashire & Brampton, Cumbria. Foundation courses help you set up your own home practice & take around 6 months & are a good preparation for training to teach yoga.
Our yoga teacher training courses are in-depth 300 hour courses that take between 12-18 months. Our next IYN Yoga Teacher Training Course starts in January 2022. See the Feel Now Yoga website for details & requirements.
There are now dozens of Feel Now Yoga Teachers throughout Lancashire, Yorkshire, Merseyside, Manchester, Cumbria & Wales. As well as a few in Scotland, down south & abroad, so if you cannot find a class that suits you, let us know & chances are we can put you in touch with a teacher in your area.
