Why Practice Yoga?


Yoga is your gateway to the mind. The body and the mind are in a constant state of interaction. Using your breath and movement quietens the mind because when you're focussing on breathing, balancing or doing a difficult pose and feeling the physical sensations of the pose in yoga then the mind doesn't have much capacity to throw you more thoughts. It helps to train the brain to stay in the PRESENT moment.
​
Doing yoga is a method to release stagnant emotions, stress and tension in the body. The most common areas people store stress and tension are in the shoulders, back, neck, legs and hips but it manifests differently for different bodies. Sometimes we literally feel the 'weight of the world on our shoulders' or you can sometimes cry at the end of yoga classes for apparently no reason - it's just stagnant emotions leaving the body which is good for us!
​
Yoga is for everyone. It is not about perfecting the pose but feeling the pose at wherever you are. Yoga even to the best practitioner always results with the humbling realisation that somedays your body will just not be manipulated into a particular pose. 
​
I take a mindful approach to teaching yoga... with a focus on mindful movement, breathing and noticing the experience while holding poses rather than focusing on the physical perfection of the pose. 

5 Yoga Classes For Emotional Health

Each of these classes has been carefully crafted together weaving yoga (asana) and Yoga Nidra Meditation to support your mental and emotional well-being. 

Class 1

Anxiety and Fear

Twists are all about digesting and assimilating information so they are great at helping you process any anxiety and fear that is arising. Through this practice you will cultivate a calm and grounded energy that leaves you feeling focused and balanced. 

 

Class 2

Anger and Rage

Even if you think you're not an angry person… we all could do better with building a better relationship to anger. Anger is not inherently bad, it just needs to be expressed properly. Anger can actually turn into a powerful purpose such as standing for cause. Think Martin Luther King or Nelson Mandela. 

Class 3

Sadness, Low Energy, Feeling Stuck or Blocked

Emotional health is not about never experiencing challenging emotions, it’s about how quickly we can bounce back. Our bodies store all our past memories, choices, what we have done and our thoughts. When we practice asana, all of these emotional and psychological stresses collected by the body show up as RESISTANCE. In this practice we will focus on removing the feeling of being 'stuck.' 
 

Class 4

Stress and Negativity

Sometimes you feel stuck in a loop of negative thoughts that can take over your day (a vicious circle) and prevent you from finding any relief. This class reduces stress, agitation and negativity by downplaying the nervous system.

Class 5

Sleep and Restoration

Practising a restorative yoga practice in the evening before bed-time can help you get to sleep. It can also be useful any time you are feeling overwhelmed or in need of some relaxation and a nap.
