Types of Yoga
 
It was upon meeting my Teacher that for me the true essence of Yoga was felt. I had attended and enjoyed other classes but none had touched my heart in such a way. An invitation to come into a class and give oneself some inner space to be. At the same time enjoying the body feeling open strong and healthy. It is my wish that when meeting in this space together we can feel what my teacher has shared with me and leave feeling soothed, nurtured and relaxed.  
HATHA YOGA - This class is based on the Sivananda Yoga system where a set of 12 postures are practiced with focus on breath and movement flow. Each class begins with a relaxation, then moving through some Yoga asana (postures) and Pranayama (breathing exercises) . Time is always spent at the end of each class with relaxation and meditation. Hatha Yoga classes are suited to all ages and abilities from complete beginners to those who enjoy the more gentle and quiet side to the practice. It is a misconception that one has to be already flexible in order to practice Yoga. The body opens with ease when allowed. Therefore a gentle and soft approach is encouraged to nurture and sooth the body rather than push or force . Yoga can then be enjoyed not only as a form of exercise, but also as an opportunity to allow ourselves to unravel and relax. >  
ASHTANGA YOGA - This class is a more Dynamic class based on the Ashtanga practice going through a set of standing ,seated and inverted postures to allow the body to gain stamina, strength and flexibility. Although this is a physically more challenging class, beginners may also find it suitable since the same gentle approach is also practiced. At the end of each class time is always spent for deep relaxation meditation.
