Hatha Yoga Courses
Open Classes
Open hatha yoga Classes are possible for anyone to attend who is in basically good health. The universal principles of movement in Hatha Yoga springing from the interrelationship between gravity, breath and the spine are as relevant to the beginner as to the advanced practitioner. Classes are taught in a graded way so that everyone has the opportunity to explore new boundaries safely. Whilst principles are universal, individual conditions are variable so classes are kept to a maximum of 10-15 people to allow individual attention. Latest class schedule.
Yoga Therapy
Yoga Therapy is intended for those whose health requires a gentler or more individualised approach than is available in an open class. The principles are the same except the pace is gentler, more adaptations of asanas (poses) are possible and more props are used if needed.
The type of conditions yoga therapy can benefit include:
- Back and joint problems
- Breathing issues and asthma
- Low energy
- Stress
- Anxiety and depression
It is important to note that yoga is not suitable for every kind of health issue - please check with your Doctor or health care professional - and make sure you fully inform your yoga teacher of any conditions. Yoga therapy is best 1:1 or in small groups by arrangement. Contact me if you want to discuss this.
1:1 Tuition
1:1 Tuition can either be the primary means of learning or a useful addition to yoga learning at various times. In the case of significant health issues 1:1 teaching can greatly aid understanding of the condition and how yoga may help. In general terms a 1:1 can accelerate the process of learning and/or shed light on an area especially if you feel stuck. In both cases feedback on practice and hands on assistance is more individualised and home practice programmes can be set up. Contact me to find out more.
Small groups
Small groups are another option for learning; you can set up a group with friends, family or work colleagues at home, work or in a centre. Contact me if you want to do this.
Workshops
Yoga workshops usually take the form of an extended class, a day or a weekend for a more in depth Yoga practice. Go to the workshop page to see the latest dates and/or join my mailing list.
