Yoga is a life long wondrous journey for me!
I started my practice over 15 years ago when my kids were small. I knew I needed something in my life. I went to try my first yoga class and I was hooked. I am so grateful for that amazing first teacher. I was inspired, encouraged and supported. I continued my
journey until I felt compelled to do teacher training. It was another amazing step for me.
I am passionate about life, people and adventures. I love to travel and have been very lucky to have explored many countries worldwide. It has given me a unique perspective on the world we live in.
Since completing my teacher training at the International Sivanada Vedata Centre in 2015, I have continued to learn and grow. I have completed more training in Yin Yoga, Meditation and Chair Yoga; all have only strengthened my practice. I have had the delight to practice in the UK, Canada, Turkey and India. I look forward to helping you experience your
own journey of yoga.
Description
Yin postures are primarily about release. They are passive in nature and held anywhere from one to five minutes to target the body’s connective tissues. This practice focuses on stilling the body for a gentle, sustained sensation rather than a deep stretch. This stillness, combined with gentle movement and breathwork, calms the mind, settles the nervous system and promotes improved mobility. Helpful props for this practice include: yoga bolsters; blankets; yoga blocks; and a yoga strap (or tie or scarf). Some props (bolsters, blocks and straps) are available in studio. Feel free to bring your own blanket(s) and/or props.
