Mary Devereux
Mary has been teaching yoga in Cheltenham since 2013. Mary began practicing yoga in 2001. After moving to England from the US, Mary completed a 500 hour yoga teaching diploma with the British Wheel of Yoga. She continues to enhance her knowledge by regularly attending trainings and intensives. In addition to her main training, Mary holds certificates to teach restorative yoga, yin yoga, pregnancy yoga and well woman yoga. Mary’s classes are welcoming and lighthearted. They are built around creating classes that are well rounded, mixing challenge with gentle aspects. Pranayama (breath control practices) and continued awareness of breath are a key components. Mary weaves aspects of subtle body and yoga philosophy into her classes. Mary has created a serene boutique yoga studio to provide the benefits of yoga to the Charlton Kings community.

Description

In Yoga the Sun symbolises the power of the soul (or consciousness) and the Winter Solstice, the shortest day, has been a time of celebration, rest, and emotional and physical nourishment in many cultures for thousands of years.

Join Alex and the 6 Ways yoga community to welcome in the start of Winter with a mindful, balancing practice that will leave you feeling warmed, revived and renewed. As we move through the longest night with the soft lights of the season surrounding us, remember that your soul is indeed the light. Connecting to that light is Yoga.

This class is for all levels and will include rhythmic movement along with floor based postures of rest and release. Breathwork, mantra and a long relaxation will close the practice and we will end with some light refreshments in celebration together.
