6 Ways Yoga
Sam Tinkler
I was initially drawn to yoga to complement my gym based fitness. Within a few classes I was hooked, drawn by not only the effect Yoga had on me physically but also emotionally and mentally. Yoga teaches you how to really listen to, and connect with, your body, your breath, and your mind. This connection is fundamental not only to my own personal practice, but also to my teaching. Drawing from the flow of Vinyasa and Hatha yoga and also the more passive and longer held postures of Yin yoga, my classes include a combination of flowing postures and held postures, to challenge the body in different ways, enabling deeper exploration of the practice and all the positive effects that Yoga brings. I hope that you will leave my classes feeling not only more flexible, stronger and invigorated, but also calmed, balanced and restored.
Description
Hatha: Ha meaning sun and Tha meaning moon.
This class aims to balance the body and mind by practicing asana (yoga postures), along with subtle practices relating to both sun (energetic) and moon (quiet) energies. Asana practice will stretch, strengthen and mobilise the physical body. Breath awareness anchors the class. We practice grounding movement in joint freeing and stretching, along with energising standing poses. Classes include flowing on the breath dynamically between poses, as well as longer more challenging holds. Pranayama is practiced to bring awareness and control of breathing, and focus to the mind. You’ll leave this class feeling both peaceful and energetic.
