Places and times of any classes or workshops I will be teaching.


Each 90 minute class will be focused on personal exploration, creating space and finding a balance between the physical body and the mind, through the breath. Each class will incorporate relaxation, breath work and a more dynamic physical vinyasa practice (flowing sequence of postures) and should be suitable for all levels of experience. Some classes will include optional partner work, which is a great way to discover how we can help each other to explore yoga as a group and to share these experiences with other people.

Yoga can help with so many symptoms of our lives today including: managing stress and anxiety, lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels, preventing arthritis, relieving back pain, aiding better posture and a general calmer more balanced outlook on life.

"What you will learn in these classes will hopefully be something you will be able to take away with you and used to enlighten your individual quality of life that we so often find hard to do in this busy, fast-paced and hectic world."

So come join us in finding some much needed valuable time enjoying the rewards of learning. Explore the connection between the body and mind, and personally experience the amazing benefits of yoga for yourself.
