YogaSilva is a yoga group led by Silva Cooper.  Yoga classes are held in Lechlade, Glos at the Memorial Hall and Pavilion, Cerney Wick at The Barn and South Cerney at the The Parlour, Berry Farm.  Silva started her journey to Yoga with Pilates in 2009 following several years of repeated lower back pain. Pilates helped her begin to strengthen here back and created an interest in Yoga.  She tried Yoga for the first time early in 2012 and has been in love with it ever since.

Silva found the improvement in her back health to be incredible; she does not suffer with any back pain now and is stronger than ever before.  Her increased strength and flexibility has benefited other sports she participates in such as mountain biking and swimming.  Silva wanted others to benefit from Yoga so decided to train as a teacher.  She trained at the Sam Rao Yoga School and  qualified in April 2016.  

“I love the flow and movement of Yoga; the connection between body, mind and breath.  I want to understand why every posture and move will benefit my body and pass this knowledge on when I teach.”

Within each class, Silva teaches basic Hatha Yoga which flows from one pose to another and allows the student time to settle in each posture, enjoy the stretch and build strength.

Silva’s personal training is in Hatha, Hatha Flow and Iyengar Yoga.  Postural alignment and student safety is very important to her but the most important element of all her classes is to create a rewarding and enjoyable experience.
