For me it’s a way to feel balanced and strong physically, mentally and emotionally. A regular yoga practice builds strength, tones the body, increases flexibility and relaxes the body & mind.

 

Yoga can correct bad posture and undo injuries from the past. Lowers blood pressure. Helps to manage anxiety and emotional stress. Improves bone densitivity. Tones and improves lung efficiency and so much more.

 

Yoga also gives me time out from the world, a space to step into and just focus on my body & my breathing, to connect inwards & outwards. Flowing through the poses, focusing on my breathing, really feeling how my body moves, holds tensions & releases it.

 

Mentally it has strengthened my ability to focus inwards, become more still and silence (for a while) the mental chatter in my mind, to be able to just sit still & be with myself in silence.

 

I love all different yoga practices & love to teach different styles: Sometimes I like a fast flowing practice, getting really warmed up, being able to go into and hold strong poses and sequences, to challenge my body, sometimes to go at a gentler pace, to hold the poses for longer, breathing into the posture, feeling how the pose can change the longer you hold it.

 

I teach Yoga because of how it makes me feel, I love that I can share this with others, to pass on the joy and peace I get from my practice.

 

Yoga can help people to move through physical & mental blocks in their life, to enable them to move, breath and relax more easily.

 

As well as teaching yoga I have been a holistic therapist for over 15 years, using Massage, Reflexology, Reiki and Homeopathy to treat people.
