General
Do you have to be flexible, strong, fit or "insert adjective" to practise Yoga?
No, the way I teach Yoga is to encourage you to begin where you are. Whether you have been practising Yoga for years or this is your very first class. You can use the concept of beginners mind. Start where you are on that day and see what you can learn about yourself by moving your body in different ways.
Why would you practise Yoga?
Some of these benefits are:
- Stress Relief – Move your body and create some space for your mind
- Mental Clarity – Movement has been proven to help you to perform at a higher mental level
- Core stability – Use focused movements to unravel patterns that aren’t helping you
- Stretching and Mobility – Let your body move freely as you undo some of the stiffness caused by sitting
What style of Yoga do you teach?
I teach Yoga Detour™. This is a practice focused on infusing strength and stability into yoga asana. This class moves at an accessible pace, waking up the body thoughtfully and methodically with the assistance of props. Though these classes may not move as quickly as a flow class, students should come prepared to work hard as they learn about how their bodies are designed to move. Suitable to all levels — even the seasoned practitioner will pick up a few tips and tricks in this class.
How do private sessions work?
Private sessions can be done online or in person. I’d love to have a chat with you before the session to learn more about you. Please send me an email or fill in the form and I will contact you.
