Hatha Yoga
Hatha Yoga is defined as the science of self-knowledge. My approach to teaching conveys the way I have been learning Hatha Yoga for over 30 years. It is a systematic method which typically includes: centring via breath awareness, asanas (postures), pranayama (breathing practices), mantra (sound practices) and a guided relaxation (often in the form of yoga nidra). In our busy lives, we all benefit from something which revives body and mind.
Strong Chair based Hatha Yoga – we use a chair about 50-60% of the time, for supported seated, standing, kneeling postures etc. We also do wall and mat based postures but I consciously limit the number of transitions up and down from the floor.
Beginner Hatha – I give instruction on how to do the individual postures in this class. No previous yoga knowledge is presumed.
Mixed Level Hatha – In this class I offer different options with the postures, so you can choose to work more lightly or strongly as suits you. I rely on you to decide which version is a comfortable challenge. This class attracts a mix of beginners and improvers. I assume some basic knowledge of the most common postures. Contains some sequences and more challenging postures.
Improvers – this is my most challenging class. If you enjoy a stronger practice and feeling the positive effects the next day this may be the class for you. We generally have more sequences of postures, a bit more aerobic sequences and more of the challenging and strength building postures. This class assumes a knowledge of common postures. SORRY CURRENTLY NO IMPROVERS CLASS ON OFFER.
