AERODYNAMIC YOGA (aerodynamicyoga.com)
I have been working in the field of healthcare since 1991, initially as a massage therapist with a keen interest in stress and how it affects each individual. Massage and other complementary therapies are applied by the therapist to the client and so when it came to studying yoga, it opened up the possibility of teaching people how they could learn the tools to help them manage their stress response themselves. I studied Dynamic Yoga in Spain (Barcelona) in 2007/08 and through a keen interest in energy efficiency started to establish my own teaching methods. Yoga is, I believe, one of the first self-help methods, and yoga classes are wide and varied in their approach to the practice of this system. My own brand, Aerodynamic Yoga, focuses first on understanding the nature of energy and then building a personal practice around managing our own energy efficiently through each of the 5 aspects of health: Physical, Physiological, Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual. We are all individual and my approach is primarily person centred. I emphasize the importance of adapting each posture to meet the individual's needs and my use of props is legendary!
As a result of the pandemic of 2020, I resorted to filming videos of postures that I can build into themed Podclasses. These online sessions are a great opportunity for anyone wishing to maintain a regular practice or improve their knowledge of energy efficiency.
