It is a real joy to share the benefits of yoga with others; my passion for yoga makes my classes fun, enjoyable, down-to-earth and healing. Everyone is welcome, whether you are completely new or an advanced yogi - My classes will give you confidence and I will support you in a safe practice, whatever your level. I teach from my heart, inspiring and nurturing in a calm, skilful and intuitive way. I encourage the integration of mind, body and breath, promoting healing and an awareness of space within the body's inner landscape. This helps you to live each moment connecting to dynamic stillness.
"Yin" Restorative Yoga
Monday
7 - 8.30 pm
Lower room - Cathedral Centre, Mount Pleasant, Arundel. BN18
Restorative or "Yin" Yoga focuses on inducing deep relaxation in the body. It emphasises breath awareness, release and stillness. Yin yoga is a perfect complement to a dynamic yoga practice. It involves gentle, passive poses and breathing exercises, with the use of props such as bolsters and yoga blocks. By enabling you to encourage deep relaxation, the practice helps to release tensions held in the body. It is ideal for healing the effects of stress, anxiety, fatigue and helping recovery from illness or injury. It helps to balance energy and calm the mind. This practice engages our parasympathetic nervous system, which takes us into a healing state, helping us rejuvenate our body and mind. This class is suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners.
Mat and blocks are provided ; please wear comfortable layers and bring your own yoga bolster/pillow.
£17.50 per class X 4 consecutive weeks (£70) paid in advance or £20 drop-in

My Yoga Practice
My yoga journey began 25 years ago when I was fortunate to have my first class with the internationally renowned Simon Low. I studied with him on The Yoga Academy Teacher Training Course and graduated after the three year course in 2013. It is recognised as one of Europe's best yoga schools; British Wheel of Yoga Accredited School and Registered with The Yoga Alliance 200 Hour Level.
I continue to be inspired, and to deepen my knowledge and professional development by regularly attending other teachers' classes, retreats and workshops; and also for the joy and balance it brings to my own wellbeing.
In my yoga journey, it was a revelation to learn how to become much more body aware; an open body equals an open mind! Breathing practices (pranayama) are integral in Hatha Yoga and a core element of my classes, as breathing mindfully is so beneficial to our health. There is so much healing power in our breath! Shallow breathing patterns, caused by stress and poor posture have many negative effects on our mind and body health. I spent years shallow breathing, because I did not know how to breathe healthily. Yoga can help transform this, bringing self-discovery and inner balance.
The physical postures (asanas) help to release tension stored in the body while the intentional focus on the breath and breathing practices (pranayama) connects the mind to the present moment. In a world where we are often pulled in various directions, yoga is a grounding practice. It encourages the development of strength, flexibility and mental resilience. Through regular practice, you can experience a profound sense of unity between body and mind, leading to enhanced well-being.
