Hatha Flow Yoga

My own yoga practice expresses a love for movement and flow.  Through this I teach with the same feeling for connecting the natural flow of the breath with the rhythmical movement of the body in to asanas (postures).  Postures are primarily linked through Vinyasas (breath synchronised movement).  Sequences within the class are mindfully created to week by week concentrate on and build upon the opening, strengthening and balancing of the different elements within the body.  Whilst establishing the body’s need to bend, stretch and lift in all directions; forwards, backwards, upwards, downwards and round in twists.  Through this the body is helped to facilitate a natural cleansing and detoxification process that allows the practitioner to feel lighter and freer, releasing the individual of physical tension layer by layer.

With close attention given to alignment with the use of props and supports where necessary the rehabilitating effects of Yoga for the spine and joints following injury, surgery, pregnancy and birth can be felt and incorporated in to a recovery program as well as a long-term preventative path to other illnesses and injuries.   The benefits of doing Yoga cannot be highlighted enough, gaining flexibility, stamina and strength for the body are immense and its ability to relax, invigorate and distress you are all benefits you can experience immediately.

      "Success in Yoga is not obtained by the near theoretical reading of sacred texts.  Success is not obtained by wearing the dress of a Yogi or a sanyasi (a recluse), nor by talking about it.  Constant practice alone is the secret of success.”       Hatha Yoga-Pradipika
